PoE: The White March - Review @ NZGamer

Luke Batt (NZGamer) has reviewed the DLC PoE: The White March Part 1:

It’s always nice to be given new reasons to jump back into games you had lots of fun with, even more-so when they are enjoyable additions. With Pillars of Eternity’s first downloadable content pack, Part One of “The White March”, that’s precisely what Obsidian Entertainment have provided, more of what you enjoyed, but nothing that really blows your mind. [...]

This DLC isn’t meant to only be for people who have maxed their character’s levels, that’s actually one of the beautiful things about it. I started the add-on from the pre-end game save, and the majority of my party were already at level 11, so when I first unlocked and entered the area on the map called “The White March”, I was prompted with a message telling me that I was too high a level to find this content much of a challenge, and asking if I would like the game to increase the difficulty of the enemies. Totally optional, but it was nice to see that they included this. [...]

Truth be told, I enjoyed my time with The White March - Part One. It was a great reason to jump back in, and while it’s not as grand as some of the RPG expansions we’ve had for other games in this genre (see Baldur’s Gate: Throne of Bhaal), it was still a good experience, and one that works almost seamlessly into a new player’s playthrough of the main game. Was there enough to warrant the purchase? I’d say so, but I’m right there with anyone who craves great story, and hopes Part Two ups the ante and brings with it a story to rival the best of them.

Final Score: 7.9/10 - Good

"More of what you loved, but no earth-shattering experiences"
