Review

Just lượt thích the original title, Winter of the Wolf features an interesting & well-developed campaign. Nicely developed characters in an excellently built game-world. However, it doesn"t add much khổng lồ the original game, & there isn"t really any big change. But that"s natural in these older expansion packs, where they add enough content khổng lồ make the game bigger but not enough khổng lồ be a complete game by itself.

Overall it"s a shame Winter of the Wolf wasn"t released worldwide, as it"s an excellent expansion khổng lồ an already great game.

Gameplay: Winter of the Wolf has everything from the original game, và adds up the almost constant extra of the eternal winter. The snow affects the characters and their behavior, making it an interesting element lớn consider when making decisions. The controls are super comfortable and the AI is competent and solid.
