<report>Truly an amazing experience. It is both a celebration of the series as well as producing an ending so satisfying I'd almost call it compulsory to play this immediately after the original game if you can.
If you came for the story, you're getting it and then some. Lots of nudges and winks to the prequel novels and further worldbuilding too. It's so heartwarming and uplifting, especially for nitro+.
If you came for the combat? I know lots of people hate it, but I didn't find it too bad, if at times a bit basic. Just remember, leave analog stick on neutral for a second to reset camera and lockon. AIOOOOOON-
But yeah, it's the cherry on top of an already very complete game. It's a fandisc made for fans, by people who know exactly what we love.
