PURCHASE OR PASS? My HONEST Opinion on the Rift In Time DLC for Disney Dreamlight Valley!

Disney Dreamlight Valley's first ever DLC dropped on Dec. 5th and there is a lot to unpack. The question is, is it worth the 30 USD price point? Let's talk about everything that comes with the Rift In Time Expansion Pass and whether I think you should purchase... or PASS!

I cannot get ENOUGH of the new DLC. I was still playing DDLV almost daily, since getting it the HOUR it released. But some things had become habitual-harvesting, mining, decorating/redecorating small sections at a time…I’m a Disney gal, so anything Disney, even repetitive, brings me a spark of joy. But this DLC is amazing and feels like the early days of the game. I was thrilled that there were all new materials and things to discover…even the mist currency (the parallel to the Dreamlight) that I’m having to actively complete activities to accrue. It’s all wonderful and a new spark to the game. These developers earned the $30 purchase and then some. Hey-nobody works for free and this DLC isn’t just a few skins and extra items. It’s truly a new game chapter. I can’t wait to see what else they deliver in the future, and I’ll happily pay for more!

[@LetzPlayK]

I totally agree! I can’t get enough and I feel like if this is an example of what dlcs will be in the future, I can’t wait!

[@BossLady2169]

Yes I think it's worth it.

[@cinderellybillie2913]

K. You’re brilliant. Tiana’s restaurant would be amazing. It would be so nice to have different ones on different maps!!

[@Jim007Bond]

It’s super easy to level characters up, just bring them with you to do all your tasks, mainly farming, even if that’s not their speciality, talk to them all and give them flowers and their favourite gift. I’ve been playing 2 weeks and have opened 4 doors, all the biomes are open, and I’ve maxed out every character so far, and my character is maxed out. This is only one of 5 games I play regularly, (GTA5, RDR2, DIVISION 2, WWZ, AFTE and more, so I’ve not been grinding this game by any means. Hope that helps, have fun and good luck. PS. I’m a big Disney fan, so I’ve also watched every movie related to each new character I unlock. WALL-E, MOANA, RATATOUILLE, WRECK IT RALPH, LILO & STITCH, FROZEN, TANGLED etc, it’s made the game even more fun...I LOVE IT, and I love building like I do in NMS.

[@jessicabartrop-gates5699]

I would love to see tiana’s restaurant!!! That would be an awesome addition!

[@LetzPlayK]

Right!? Even if it’s just a skin we apply to give it a different look!

[@gracea9795]

I totally think the DLC is worth it, but I would wait to purchase until the major bugs, such as jungle wood not spawning, have been worked out

[@jackielowrey3032]

They’ll get worked out regardless. There’s no reason to recommend waiting.

[@Ratzz4Ever]

As much as the dlc is worth it it needs to be separate from dreamlight valley completely. For people that don’t buy the expansion, villagers are asking for items from the expansion it can take 3-4 days to give 5 favorite items to complete the give 5 favorite items tasks for the star path.

[@LetzPlayK]

Yes absolutely! DDV is aware of it and working on a fix so hopefully that’s fixed soon!

[@mimicrossing86]

The Expansion Pass is definitely worth it, it’s basically an entire new game. I do wish they had redesigned the shop and Remy’s to better fit the ancient aesthetic. Maybe there will be skins in the furture🤞🏼

[@LetzPlayK]

Yess fingers crossed for that!!

[@pastelshades2860]

I've barely done anything on Eternity Isle and I love it. I really wish I could move the strawberry bushes to the valley.

This DLC is 100% worth every penny. We still have 2 more updates for it as well! Plus you got 5k moonstones with your purchase of the DLC. It is like a whole new game! I love it. The ancient machines are one of my favorite features as well as the scramblecoin.

[@DarkN1nja77]

how are you winning at scramblecoins im always losing i have like a like a 8 coin lead and then the rng just rigs me on the last round puts the gold coins net to them where i cant reach it cause the round before put me the other side

[@Zaralove1750]

@@DarkN1nja77 Well I had beginners' luck with Mickey and beat him the first game but then I was on a losing streak. lol I have unlocked like 7 character pieces now and they are just better than the starting ones, so I am winning more often. Get Scrooge on the board right away and switch out for goofy when the gold pieces show up if other characters can't reach them.

[@LetzPlayK]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it helpful! 🥳

[@rayolympia]

I haven't bought it yet but it's annoying that my villagers favorite gifts of the day are things I can only get from the expansion pack. Usually it's one or two for villager

[@stella_11.]

I bought the DLC this morning and literally played it the whole day. I wasn't playing DDV for a while and I was just really bored but decided to get Mike and Sully. Then I found out about the DLC and it's literally so so amazing I'm in line with DDV again. I still have so much to do in it and i loveeee Rapunzel sm. Definitely worth every penny and then some.

[@sha-rin9983]

5:27 The answer for the question about the protein, you get it from the questline with gaston. i think it was the first at level 2 friendship

[@ItsDjustin]

Gaston has a stall in the Desert and we will be able to get protein from that

[@emmasIife]

I wanted to add a note! I play on the newly released Apple Arcade version for mobile. I do believe this comes with the game on Apple Arcade since I just unlocked eternity isle ( I started playing yesterday ) I unlocked it when I logged on today. And was able to go to the island & start the quests

[@DavidChilson]

I'm loving the new Biomes so far, was originally planning to move my Eternity Isle house to the Wild Tangle but I found a better spot for it in the Oasis section of the Glittering Dunes. Tbh, I agree completely about the Remy's Restaurant situation. With 3 and possibly more new characters coming in this expansion pass, it would've been better if the Eternity Isle Chez Remy had it's own unique clientele or a new upgrade option.

[@LetzPlayK]

The Wild Tangle is a BEAUTY! And yesss I hope it comes in the future!

[@star_athena]

Isn’t it so good?! I’m obsessed and haven’t even scratched the surface. I feel like the value is really there. Great video! ❤❤❤

Thank you for reviewing the dlc the reviews on steam made me iffy about getting it but watching this video made me want to buy it but I am gonna wait to purchase it I wanna get further into the game first but thank you this video really helped me realize how good this dlc really is I can’t wait to buy it 😊

[@LetzPlayK]

I think it’s a great idea to play through the main storyline in the valley before jumping into the expansion! That’s exactly what I would have done!

[@PrettyGuardian]

This got me very excited for the expansion. Thank you!

[@susanmoore6247]

The expansion looks amazing, but I only started playing a couple of months ago and haven't finished the valley and characters yet. My plan was to take my time, finish everything and then purchase the update. However, I am disappointed to see that for characters I am still leveling up, all of their favorites now come from Eternity Isle, so leveling them up will have to come from having them help with whatever task I chose for them or doing quests. You would think that their favorites wouldn't include items or recipes that are from an island that I do not have access to without buying the upgrade. Still love the game, but really?

[@LetzPlayK]

Oh that’s so weird!? It’s requiring items from a DLC you don’t have installed??? I feel like that’s not right. That definitely doesn’t make sense. I do like your plan though to take your time!

[@mireiamv3215]

I have the same issue. I started playing around a month ago and I thought it was a bug. What makes it even worse is that the star path has gifting tasks and some of those gifts I can't make due to not having the dlc yet. I will buy it only when I'm done with the base game content. I love the game however this is such a bummer :(

[@AramasG]

Apparently it’s a bug they’re working on to fix according to the fb group posts I’ve seen.

[@susanmoore6247]

Yes, I am so enjoying it. Life is hard right now as my Brother just passed and being able to sink into Dreamlight Valley gives my brain and my heart a little break from it all. @@LetzPlayK

[@susanmoore6247]

The great thing is that if you garden, you can use a level 10 gardening helper to harvest, but then switch to a character you need to level when you plant and water, so they get the exp. Works great!! @@mireiamv3215

[@Fanriya]

Finished all star path, buying a lot of premium shop items... Without paying except the premium founder pack the release day and now the DLC. Actual pricetag for the DLC seem fair.

[@Jlburgart]

I just downloaded it yesterday and love it! I am, however, waiting for gameloft to fix a known issue where I can’t cook anything, so I’m only able to complete things that don’t require cooking. It’s a bit of a bummer, but it is what it is. But I love Eve! I hope we can get her and Wall-E together!!

[@AmaDios200l]

Yeah one thing I notice that in the dreamlight valley u can craft dreamlight with dreamshards, but we can't craft in rift in time for more mist wich sucks bcs u don't get mist 100% from the hourglass or removing the purple rocks

[@exotic_butters2897]

I just bought the game yesterday, and I must say it’s definitely worth the money. I’ve already completed the first act of the game, and can’t wait for new updates as well as updates to the base game! I’m very intrigued about how this “very lucky” villager will be an importance to the second act when it comes out in spring, and many people have said that it’ll be Oswald, which I’d definitely be looking forward too. Overall, I’m very excited for the future updates, and I’ll definitely follow the devs to see what new updates they’ll bring to the isle and the valley!

[@SpookyNugs]

If they do Oswald I really want him to have a paint brush cause of Epic Mickey 😂

[@exotic_butters2897]

@@SpookyNugs Omg! That would be awesome!

[@user-ds7mq6mg6x]

I do love the expansion however my one issue is that it’s account locked so if you have an Xbox or PlayStation with different accounts on it, it won’t automatically be added to your other accounts. You have to purchase it for each account. So if you have kids that use the same console I would not recommend getting it unless you’re willing to spend the $30 on each account.

[@LetzPlayK]

Yea this is something I really don’t like and wish there was a way around it. It’s not unheard of but definitely frustrating especially for a game that is cross play

[@xsirenflyx]

Using your video to help me decide! On another note, what outfit are you wearing? Is it from Scrooges? I LOVE it!!!

[@LetzPlayK]

I'm so glad! This outfit is from the premium shop! It should come back around so keep an eye out for it!

[@Skoshtwo]

I grew up playing hardcore PVP games and fast reflex based shooters, fighters and strategies. I always loved tough and punishing gameplay that took time to master. Now, as a man in his early 30s, something changed. The games I enjoy the most are these cozy life sims that seemingly mainly women and girls like. I like watering my little plants and making little cartoony friends and giving them presents. My testosterone levels must have plummeted to the point of no return.

[@LetzPlayK]

Honestly it’s so relaxing! I wish more men would give it a try! Is a good change of pace! I’m glad you’re enjoying! It’s my fav game

[@Skoshtwo]

@@LetzPlayK I haven't played this one yet, but in general this has been one of my most enjoyable genres. Stardew Valley, Graveyard Keeper, Coral Island, My time at Portia, Sun Haven, some off genre titles like the Forager and a bunch of others I can't think of from the top of my head. Will definitely give this one a go at some point as well.

It will be cool if they make Tiana help us out with FOOD like instead of cooking, Tiana will have desserts, breakfast and lunch ready for us to just buy when we need food bcs we don't have enough ingredients for a certain meals (what do yall think?)

Im still on the fence, I love your video! Im a little upset the fact they are charging $30.00 again!:'(

[@c0lleenbean]

my only complaint is there is not enough wells to travel in. They have made basically 3+ biomes, per biome with only 1-2 wells. There should be one in every named area.

[@LetzPlayK]

Does it feel weird to anyone else that we're still paying for content with bugs in it? But if you don't get the DLC, the original game feels dead now. Plus, characters want new items that don't exist to you yet. It all comes across as rushed to me and doesn't reflect the money and time (and patience) a lot of us have put in already. Going from Free to Paid was inevitable but things like this really put salt in the wound.

[@sweetdiamxnd]

I have a question (tho you might not see this) but I just bought DDV with the Rift in Time pack yesterday, I'm barely understanding the mechanics of the game and they're already sending me to Eternity Isle. Should I ignore it and advance more in DDV? I mean I've only met 5 characters so far!

The DLC looks interesting. A shame I have kind of given up on the game. It's been giving me Online Services Unavailable since as far back as October. Even submitting a ticket did little. I was simply told. Oh, it's a known issue try using a hotspot. Which also did not work, so I just gave up since it is STILL giving the error even now. Which kind of bums me out, Might actually be the first Starpath I miss out on. I like the game of course but didn't feel worth it to play offline. No starpath, no chests spawning. No taking part in or voting on DreamSnap stuff. And while at the moment it's very basic no multiplayer obviously. So very limited to play in offline mode.

No not worth it, but will still probly get, I've seen what it adds, and I think it's at best a 25 dollar value, not 30, so like everything in today's world its over priced

[@Openreality]

After spending the top tier version of the switch game, I'm not inclined to be playing this game ever again because of the paywalls from Hell. They should be giving any DLC for free. This is ridiculous. I SPENT $80 FOR THE TOP TIER VERSION AND AFTER THEY ADDED A ACTUAL STORE THAT REQUIRES REAL MONEY AND AFTER THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND TO INCLUDE EVEN MORE GREEDY PRACTICES, I REFUSE TO SUPPORT GREED.
