It’s the Wicked Witch of the Vale…
Please note that this Review may contain spoilers from the Base game
Some key points that this game add on has to offer:
- New Area to Explore
- New Mission
- New Weapons and Gear
Replayability:
Upon completing the Quest in the Singleplayer campaign, it can be replayed in Expedition Mode with its various individual game modes.
MGR Gaming’s Conclusions:
Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch is a gorgeous new add on. Shorter than advertised, even on the highest difficulty setting. However, the journey, experience and view are all a pleasant experience nonetheless.
The quest can be started by going to the Soviet Installation, from there you will hear gunfire in the distance and that is when the fun starts. Following the new quest marker, or tracking down the gunfire will bring you to the quest starting point. The quest pretty much starts by accepting to help one of the Remnants.
Upon accepting the quest, you will be traveling to a brand new area to track down The Witch and put a stop to her, once and for all. Lara is in for a gorgeous setting. The new area has breathtakingly beautiful visuals. There is a gorgeous forest, mountain side and old ruins that truly enhances the experience. The Jump scare atmosphere that is incorporated here with tracking down the witch was a brilliantly implemented concept.
You will have fun; you will enjoy the mission and you will love the scenery! The gameplay they implemented here truly makes this DLC unique, however to avoid spoiling it, this is where I leave you!
The only let down here is that the DLC is shorter than advertised, and that kind of makes the price tag on the DLC a tad high. However, the scenery does really make this a beautiful add on experience in Rise of the Tomb Raider.
