Beast of Winter is a worthwhile experience for dedicated fans of Pillars. The segment through the Shattered Passage includes excellent level design. It should be rewarding especially for those who would like to know more about those specific events in the history of Eora. It was compelling to meet certain characters and interact with them, as opposed to reading or hearing about them.

If you haven’t picked up Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire yet, Beast Of Winter isn’t enough to change your mind as it mostly goes through familiar motions. Seasoned Watchers with an interest in Eora’s lore will, however, find quite a few good reasons to brave the icy expanses of The Dead Floe and Rymrgand’s realm.

Beast of Winter has a lot of beautiful locations alongisde great artwork, and expands on interesting lore threads that had previously been relegated to text dumps and exposition, as well as a couple interesting boss encounters -- It's a solid afternoon's worth of more Deadfire, but it feels piecemeal and diversionary.

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire's first DLC is mainly focused on dungeon crawling, rather than the things that made the core game so awesome, and yet Beast of Winter is far from a boring addition, especially for those who see themselves as scholars of Eora's lore.

En théorie, si vous avez déjà croisé le mortifère Rymrgand au cours de vos ateliers d'animancie à Neketaka, l’occasion de pénétrer dans l'antre de l'Auroch pourrait à elle seule justifier l'achat de Beast of Winter. Impitoyable, la divinité s'affirme comme l'un des visages marginaux les plus intéressants de la cosmogonie PoE.
