This game is best described as Diddy Kong Racing meets the difficulty level of Elden Ring meets Cooking Mama(because of the eggs). This game completely changed my life for the better, saved my marriage, and brought my lost pet Gary home.
The winter eggspansion complements the base game well, with new obstacles, new mechanics and an ever increasing difficulty.
Competing with other players via the online leaderboard adds a lot for those who seek a time to beat beyond the developers times. Or perhaps you enjoy a casual drive-through where you get rid of these pesky snowmen and snowwomen.
Being able to drift through the corners on slippery snow creates a whole new driving experience and this alone makes it worth to get the expansion. The leaderboard also adds a new dimension to the game. The thrill of going from struggling to pass a level to ranking number one can't be described in words, even though the position might only be held for hours. In addition to this there are 30 new levels, new obstacles and possibly a snowman achievement. Well worth the money.

(Check base game for my serious review)
Eggcelerate is a fun, frustrating and addictive game. It definitely provides a challenge to beat all the levels. This expansion offers a lot of new and difficult obstacles and mechanics, which makes it almost feel like a whole new game compared to the base game. Recommend playing with a controller.
Once you play this DLC, you will feel that the base game is just the tutorial for this.
And you are right!
Forget most things you learned before. This is where it gets real!
Do you think racing with an egg on the top of your car is difficult?
Add ice. Add snow. Add boycotting snowmen strategically placed on your pathway.
You will feel all the same emotions you felt with the base game.
But this time, you will also feel cold. So just grab a cozy sweater and get done with it.
You got this!
The Winter Eggspansion for Eggcelerate! is a terribly fun and frustrating experience for leaderboard chasers.
The ice/snow drift mechanics really add a new dimension to an already fun and simple game mechanic. There's been times where I let my 7 year old beat the level for me because I just want to go too fast.
This expansion adds great value to an already fun game and the added leaderboards make me want to find the top ranked person and find out how they carved .1 seconds off of their run.
Fast, fun, eggy. Well done!
Many new levels, which I feel are more varied and more difficult than the base game. The snowy environment provide less control - snow and ice lower friction - and require better track planning, increasing gameplay depth and difficulty.
I feel that in the base game the dev focused on making the engine and the gameplay, while in this DLC the dev refined the gameplay.
(Bias warning: I did watch and talk to the dev prior to purchasing this DLC, but bought it out of my own money.)
The winter expansion for me was even more exciting than the base game, it added a totally new driving style while still feeling part of the same game.
