RPG Fan: 85 / 100 by Jonathan Logan

Throes of the Watchmaker is a solid piece of DLC for Sea of Stars. If you enjoyed the main game, you will enjoy this too! If the original wasn't your bottle of seltzer, maybe pass on it.

Noisy Pixel: 8.5 / 10

Throes of the Watchmaker is a free DLC expansion for Sea of Stars that deepens its turn-based gameplay with stronger character arcs, vibrant new locales, and a heightened challenge, though some pacing issues and a lackluster supporting cast hold it back from true greatness.

VDGMS: 8.5 / 10 by Darren Andrew

Throes of The Watchmaker is only a few degrees away from being a stand-alone offering with its unique experience with fresh mechanics, original story and a vibrant new world to explore. Sabotage Studios sidesteps all of the common issues with DLC such as the lack of quality and value. To begin with, The Throes of The Watchmaker is completely free, if you own the base game. There is no memory needed for the existing lands of Sea of Stars because The Throes of The Watchmaker takes place in an entirely new realm. You don’t have to remember how to use any of your special skills, because each character is given completely new ones. Then you throw in all kinds of new puzzle mechanics, enemies and more of the stunning pixel art from Sabotage Studio and Throes of The Watchmaker is easily one of the best free DLC’s ever.
