Where Harran is a dense city with constant obstacles and buildings to scale and run around in, the countryside is full of wide open areas with structures that are much more scattered in their locations. What really makes this expansion stand apart from the base game is the gameplay, as it is so unique in comparison. As a result, I ended up doing far more side missions in The Following than I did in the base game, whether I needed to in order to advance the plot or not. The way the game unfolds is also more natural, as you’re encouraged to do side missions as a means to progress the main plot. The plot is actually very interesting and I found it even better than the plot of the base game. Thus, The Following essentially boils down to you traversing this massive countryside that is even bigger than the base game to help out the locals and slowly uncover the details about the Faceless and the Mother. Of course, being a stranger that just came wandering into their town the locals don’t trust Crane at first and require him to prove himself before he can get information about this cult. I reached level 12 right around the time that I completed the base game for this review, so it’s suggested that you do that before diving into the expansion. Keep in mind that your progress from the base game is carried over to the expansion, with the game suggesting that you be at level 12 before starting The Following. This review will focus mostly on the expansion, though you can check out our full thoughts on the base game by clicking right here. However, an improved version of the base game isn’t the only thing this package offers, as you’re also getting all of the game’s previously-released DLC and the brand new expansion called The Following. Techland has really taken the time to listen to fan feedback and has improved upon the original game so much that it is absolutely worth playing even if you already did before. There’s even a new Legendary skill tree that you can’t even access until you’ve maxed out one of your regular skill trees, which allows you to become an incredibly powerful dude as you make your way through it. This new version of the game offers tons of improvements over the original, such as improved enemy AI, new parkour moves, a new Bounty system, a higher Nightmare difficulty and a whole lot more. Well, now here we are a little over a year later with an Enhanced Edition of the game.
