Honestly despite some god awful issues (clipping through the floor, issues with mission and issues with the code pointing to the wrong objective/result) this game is in the same category as its original counterpart.
Is it funny: Yes.
Did the devs put in memes: ABSOLUTELY.
Is there sand: Yes but I do not like it.

EDIT: Is DLC required? no, currently all of the DLC is simply character packs that add lifeless characters with no voices or interactions with other characters. When I found out about the second set I was skeptical and then once I found out I would need to buy another whole bundle I was hurt. I was one of the many who bought the preorder and looking back I was a fool. Sure I would be spoiled by watching others play and post content, but at least I would have the opportunity to save money.
BUT HEY, I'm just a man who played this alone and sped through the game in almost 80 hours in a couple of sittings and then almost beat it again in about the same time because my first game was hit with a glitch around 90%. However, I have seen many have a blast with their children, friends, family and even seen people enjoy the game despite not know a single thing about the franchise.
