Ein Meer aus Möglichkeiten

As a non-gamer, I immediately thought of nautical themes when I heard the title The Queen and the Sea . Something that reminds me of water, of the sea - either in the form of free/liberated melodies, such as we heard in The Bad Seeds or as a relentless force of nature that crushes us in its waves. The DLC leans more towards the latter, although we are not in for a God of War kind of action. Instead, The Crown or Shipwreck have an increasingly dark, almost horror-like tone, which tends to give us a taste of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing .

In between and afterwards, the score plunges us back into the usual hustle and bustle (Lighthouse) and even mixes in an electric guitar in Beyond Reasoning (The Queen) . Everything shreds and culminates in Bloc Party Boat, which brings up hillbilly-meets-techno vibes. Admittedly not for everyone, the penultimate DLC still offers the most variety - excluding the Demakes from Fatal Falls - in terms of instrumental variance.
