WellPlayed: 8.5 / 10 by Mark Isaacson

You can't argue against the value of free DLC that expands on an already classic RPG. With more inventive, enjoyable combat and a compelling additional story, Throes of the Watchmaker is tougher, perhaps a tad short, but just as entertaining as the main campaign.

GameGrin: 10 / 10 by Alana Dunitz

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker DLC is so well done and needs to be played. Besides the fact that it's free, I didn't want it to end!

MonsterVine: 3.5 / 5 by Branford Hubbard

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker is a great DLC for those who were already hooked on the base game and crave more, though it may leave others wanting. New classes and a new party member don’t make up for the lack of character development for our main duo, and I did not appreciate having my party shrunk and helpful skills removed. A gorgeous and bombastic ride seems to be Sea of Stars’ goal here, and on that note, they do not disappoint. If you were craving more Sea of Stars or have been away from the game, this free DLC awaits a brave Solstice Warrior or three to mete out justice once again.
