It doesn't add anything at all to the story since it has its own ... Layla focused nonsense it's centered around in the current day. It is absolutely a fun time but it's just more Odyssey. And there's so much Odyssey already that more of it is just...more of it. I can picture you easily being done with it and satisfied with the base game the way you like to move on to new things and whatnot. It's already ludicrously long before DLC anyway
I’ve played 40 hours of it now, and I haven’t even uncovered half of the map yet. There’s quests upon quests everywhere, and there’s more always popping up. They seem endless, and most of them are fairly involved. Only a few have been recycled fetch quests, and point A to B jaunts. The amount of content in the game is staggering, I can’t think of any other game that has offered more. And it’s impressive looking, and fun to play.

He might have all the reasons but I don't want to participate in it. And no izzy, I am no saint but I can't deal with Kratos right now. Too many things not hitting right and I am a bit more prickly about my media at the moment. It's normally not necessary for me to love or even like the main character (Neku from my actual all time favorite game The World Ends With You might be the most entitled, whiny, self important little piece of **** in the history of gaming but I stuck with it multiple times already). But I am at a weird point in my life where I do currently need to be able to see some good in the character because we are pretty scummy to each other already on the whole and my escapism isn't taking part in being scummy at the moment, it's about punching the scummy people right in their scummy faces. I bounced off of Prototype because homeboy was a straight up scumbag with no redeeming qualities but he was extremely mad he had superpowers?
It’s gotten to the point for me where if I don’t really like the character that I’m playing as in a game regardless of how good the game is then I don’t want to play it. For example, I’m really enjoying Assassin’s Creed Odyssey right now but if I had to play as Alexios instead of as Kassandra then I wouldn’t be playing it because I have no interest in playing as him. I stopped playing Assassin’s Creed Origins because I didn’t really like Bayek, but if I could have played as his wife Aya instead then I would have finished it because I liked her much more and would have enjoyed the game a lot more as her.
I’ve mentioned before that I prefer female characters to male ones, whenever given the choice to play as a male or female character I always choose female. There are of course games such as Days Gone, Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption, Spider-Man, Uncharted and Yakuza for example where I’m perfectly fine playing as the male leads in them, but for the most part I tend to prefer playing as female characters in games not only because I find a lot of male characters to be douche-y, generic and overall unappealing but also because female characters are more appealing to look at IMO.
