Having played for a short while, it's good. There are some nice references to both past Elder Scrolls games and Skyrim itself, which are fairly frequent.

The new armours and weapons look pretty awesome, Nordic Carved stuff and Stahlrim are more to my personal preference but Bonemold and Chitin are both pretty cool.

Not done much of the story (as in only just reached the first main quest dungeon) but it's pretty eerie so far. Well it would have been if some cheerful music hadn't started playing as I was wandering up a mountain covered in Dragon skeletons to a creepy temple being built by mind controlled bandits. Done one side quest and got a cool looking greatsword (don't want to spoil things, although it's not much of a spoiler) although if that quest is anything to go by, then the dungeons are pretty much the same as those in the main game, which is good or bad depending on what you thought of the main game.

Having been to Apocrypha once thus far it doesn't seem like a huge place, took me about 5 minutes to get from the start point to end point (again don't want to spoil it). However, given that you enter and exit at different points each time you decide to go in I imagine that it will have a fair bit of mileage, especially given the fact that it is a totally unique environment, with unique enemies (many of whom look like Davy Jones in Pirates of the Carribean).

Finally, the map is extensive and there are different landscapes just as promised. It's around the same size as Shivering Isles which is nice. I'd say it's finally the DLC we all thought of when Todd Howard said "They'll feel closer to an expantion pack". Even better, PC and PS3 users get it next year, which while still a pain in the arse, is better than never getting it at all.
