The Last Variable refines what made The Alters compelling while inheriting many of its shortcomings. A worthwhile return trip, even if it still falls short of greatness.

A quality DLC that seems like more of an expansion, at an attractive price.
Last Variable doesn’t reinvent the main game’s special formula, but it adds plenty of new content to see and explore.
Last Variable proves to be an excellent and deeply compelling DLC for those who appreciated the philosophy of THE ALTERS and wish to delve deeper into the mystery of the Oasis.
The excellent sequel to The Alters is in the running for the award for best DLC of the decade.
