This was a very enjoyable and well-made DLC in my opinion. I'll briefly go over the pros and cons here:

Pros:
+ Excellent map set in a snowy Himalayan valley
+ Yetis are really cool and can make the game fairly challenging
+ Unique 'base-building' mechanic
+ Having to survive against waves of enemies at night
+ Having the option to acquire different weapons by finding them in unique locations across the map
+ Decent storyline
+ All of your progress gets reset, which gives you a fresh start in terms of your skill build
+ The combination of no fast travel, yetis roaming about and plenty of wild animals/human enemies can make travelling around interesting and tense

Cons:
- No fast travel (I actually consider this to be a pro in its own way though)
- The ending seems a bit rushed, to put it mildly (lmao)

It's very hard to put into words why this game is so great from a narrative perspective, all I can say is that you have to experience it yourself.

From a gameplay perspective, the card battling and deck building aspects of this game are excellent too. It feels fair (despite the presence of considerable RNG), it's complex but not overly complex, it allows for a ton of creativity, and most importantly it's very satisfying to play.

Overall I'd say it's easily one of the best games I've ever played.

Simply a perfect detective/mystery game with an enthralling story.

Great game with some of the best tactical stealth gameplay anyone could ask for.

I absolutely love this game. If you're at all interested in dinosaurs or the park sim genre, I can safely say that this game is for you.

First off, I've barely played this game on Steam but I’ve currently got 200+ hours on GOG. With that clarified, I can safely say that this is one of the best games in existence. This game is just incredible in so many ways. In particular, I’d say that the story telling and writing are what make it so special. The branching story line, vast variety of characters and unique locations with their own backstories all make the game extremely immersive. It’s very evident that a great deal of effort went into these aspects of the game.

Add to this dozens upon dozens of in-game choices and playstyles, a massive world with a great atmosphere, incredibly fun core gameplay, four (technically six) excellent content filled DLCs and countless mods, and you’ve got a game that you can definitely enjoy playing for several hundred and even a 1000+ hours.

However, with all of the said, I have to mention that some of bugs and technical limitations of this game (due to its age) make a few mods almost mandatory in my opinion. Most notably I’d say that this is the case for the ‘4GB patch’ mod and the ‘anti-crash’ mod, especially if you intend to play the game on Steam (GOG automatically fixes the RAM issue via a built-in custom patch).

All in all, I'd highly recommend this game, but also keep in mind that you’ll probably want to have some mods to improve your experience.

Great stealth gameplay and excellent levels (which are both very detailed and unique). There's also a seemingly endless number of possibilities with regard to loadouts, routes to take and elimination options which allows for a lot of replayability and 'run perfecting'.

A great game with fast paced and entertaining gameplay, wonderful visuals and music, and a story that is both heartfelt and memorable.

A great game with incredible visuals and music, and a simple yet touching story. In many ways it's more of a dream-like work of art than a proper game. It's perfect for when you just want to relax and there are even a few nice surprises along the way.

The only drawbacks are that it's short and that the controls are slightly suboptimal (for PC). While the PC controls are usable I found that setting up and using a controller felt way better and more natural.

From a gameplay perspective, this game is a blast to play, but its dry humour and wit are what really set it apart.
