A post-game story DLC that still stands alone from the main narrative, Throes of the Watchmaker is an entertaining side-romp that presents new abilities, mechanics, and character development for the characters that Sea of Stars fans have grown to love.

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker may not be a huge chunk of story, but it has a playtime of almost 10 hours. The DLC knows exactly what it wants to be: a lovingly told addition that closes an unresolved chapter, expands the Sea of Stars universe and is convincing in terms of both narrative and gameplay. The new mechanics, the focus on the clockmaker and her time-traveling clockwork lock as well as the multitude of small convenience features make this DLC a must-have for fans of the genre.
