I must admit, I expected the eponymous bigsnax to be Kaiju-esque creatures, stomping around their island DLC habitat like Brothra, King Squidorah, or Peas-in-a-Podzilla.

That’s great news for me since I loved the main game, so more of the same is just what I want. For those who didn’t, it’s free DLC so stop
