Expect a difficulty spike. Excellent new content, a great challenge with interesting and inventive mechanics.. This DLC was unplayable at launch because of bugs and poor level design. Now it's just fun. The devs were very responsive and fixed most of the problems (and the worst of the problems). I'm leaving them here crossed out so you can see what was fixed.Bad design:* The first level introduces a new mechanic, where you have to collect money to buy dog food to disable otherwise unkillable dogs. Unfortunately, this is also the trap button and (more importantly) the enter shortcut button, which means if you kill people by stairs who have money, you're more likely to take the stairs than get the money.* New hiding places have been added that function like shortcuts. They have the exact same icon as shortcuts and there's no visual clue that you haven't gone anywhere. (It's more obvious in the second level than in the first.)* Dialing into a phone does not have an effect in any level.* Gangsters in level 3 look very similar to normal NPCs.Bugs:* If a cop is chasing you but he is killed by a trap, you are paralyzed and can't move until you restart the game.* If a cop is chasing you he may no longer set off the gumball trap (level 4 rooftop).* The game minimizes itself at random. The game does not pause while minimized. After running a stopwatch app while playing the game, I've determined this typically happens roughly every 7 minutes and a few seconds (with one outlier at 6m30s and one at 2m48s)* You now set off some proximity traps you did not used to.The good:* All of the new levels introduce new gameplay* I actually liked the boss fight* Most of the new mechanics\/puzzles are easy to adjust to.* New music on every level.* Like the original, when you're not being screwed over by bugs, the game is really fun.* Devs are very responsive to problems.. Seems like, the developers wanted to sell four levels for five dollars, when the base game costs three times as much with nearly five times as many levels. So they just made the levels absurdly difficult and tedious to ensure players would spend a lot of time trying to beat them; and so falsely believe the content had enough playtime worth five dollars. Even though that playtime is only that long because the content is overly difficult.The first level is an assassination mission with instant kill dogs walking around. Players have to lure them away with food they buy with cash found from killing people. Although the last two dogs guarding the target have no food bowls near them so I have no idea how that is even done.The mission objective is linear and rigid, which is not what the base game was about at all. Players have a specific target, and that specific target can only be reached in a specific way. It is thus a literal puzzle, with random chance added into it based on where the dogs and people wander.The dogs kill the player immediately if they get anywhere near them. Anywhere remotely near them. Their line of sight is huge. Traps do not work on them, and the player cannot out run them. They are just instant kills floating around the map. They are also darkly coloured hunched over instant kills which are extremely easy to not notice because they don't stand out among the map or crowd at all. So over half the time, I couldn't even tell where they were, and you need to know where they are to avoid them, which means the information the player needs to survive is not properly telegraphed to them thus resulting in death. You can even look at the screenshot the developers have of that map, and can see how subtle the appearance of the darkly coloured dogs on the darkly coloured floor surrounded by brightly coloured people and objects is.The map is cramped and dense yet has barely any walls or structures to block visibility so actually killing people in the conventional fashion is very difficult and rare because you're basically trying to do it while all of you are standing in a closet. Players cannot even enter the map when they start the game, a dog wanders over and blocks the entrance for several seconds and forces the player to stand outside and wait for it to leave. Is that there to annoy the player or is it meant to pad out of the playtime even more; because that seems to be the only thing the developers were concerned with here.Overly difficult arbitrary level design which betrays the open ended massacre gameplay of the actual game, for the sake of forcing players to spend lots of time on not a lot of levels so the developers can justify the price tag. It's not fun, it's just a chore. Figure out the thing, try to do the thing, eventually do the thing, beat the level. Could just look up a walkthrough and get the answer to begin with to beat the level without the frustration and wasted time.. First mission has invincible dogs that you can barely see because they blend in with the background. Hiding mechanic is bugged: I literally got stuck in a dumpster and had to quit the game.New character is seemingly useless.Now has objectives: no more "just rip everyone apart."Soundtrack has been butchered even worse than your victims.STAY AWAY!. This DLC is short but very fun and adds a small spice to the game, I highly recommend you download this DLC.. When I originally posted this the boss on level 4 for virtually impossible to beat. RNG for where he moved and how fast he fired, with barely any warning for when he would.Not a day later, the Devs do a patch and ask me to try again.Now. Party Hard isn't built for bosses. Being one shot killed kind of doesn't flow well together with it.Thanks to the update they have done, the boss is now somewhat more reliable to beat. More warning for when he's about to fire, and a bit more time between shots, these two little things make a huge difference.So I'm turning my review from thumbs down to thumbs up. I don't like the boss fight, but with devs this willing to make changes and so quickly, that's exactly the type of people you should want to support. People willing to interact with their community.That's the reason I bought the dlc in the first place. To support these guys, and this small little update, only reassures my mindset.Original Review:I bought this dlc mostly to support the devs.It adds some new mechanics and things which are nice.But the boss fight it adds to the 4th level is absolutely terrible. Relying on RNG completely to be able to beat it. (I could not beat it after an hour of trying.)Worth it if you want to support the game, but if you want better content, wait until the Party Hard Tycoon.. I'm not sure if this DLC was playtested before being released, I've played a few times and I can't get past the beginning of the story because it bugs out. The original game's bugs were frustrating but this is entirely unplayable here.. Bought "High Crimes DLC" today, can't find it in game even after following what the developer said. :("make sure your game don`t require update, then just click continue in main menu of Party Hard, and you will see two hands with labels under them, one is - standard campaign, the second one is dlc campaign. Have a nice party ;)"15\/11\/16Thx 4 the reupload! Everything is good 2 go now!Nice game indeed 8\/10. 1. Ignore the people crying about the DLC being too hard - they're just crap. The 'dog level' took me 2 attempts and 10 minutes to finish.2. I enjoyed the different mechanics in the DLC - was a nice change and added to the original.3. It is a little clunky in some areas but not game breaking.4. $5 is a bit steep for what you get. 4 levels that wil take you maybe 30 minutes seems a bit short for a DLCOverall, not bad. If you enjoyed the original, you'll probably enjoy the DLC - as long as you understand what you're getting for the money.. What I like the most about this DLC is how big the maps are! These maps are much more detailed, and as you move around to explore your surroundings, the map moves along with you. This does not apply to the first level of the DLC, though. Also, I must mention there are a few new animations in some of the levels ;) Once I discovered them, I couldn't help it but to start laughing. I think this DLC expands the potential for this amazing game. It's fresh, it's original, and it's entertaining as usual. Give it a try! You won't regret it!
