This provides an additional touch to the game by giving us a sense of realism and challenge since food is not easy to acquire deep down.

8 of 73 sampled reviews raised it
Upgraded graphics, quests, fishing, and even the newer DLC is in with this package, so the game is incredibly longer than the old version.

As the game progresses into darker and more dangerous territory, the soundtrack slowly becomes more mysterious and melancholic, reinforcing the emotional shift occurring within the narrative.
