A breath of perfection

The soundtrack of The Breath of Winter picks up seamlessly where the soundtrack of the main game left off, which means: once again high quality and melodies worth listening to. As the game takes us to the arctic regions of the ice elves, the focus this time is more on the freezing cold sounds of bells and wind chimes, which are more often combined with gentle harps and female chorales - in other words, ice plus elves.

As a result, the overall work lacks some of the instrumental variety of The Order of Dawn, but the main theme, which runs through several tracks, is a real listen. And the usual trinity of thrilling battle tracks (Attack on FastholmeTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5, Aryns BattleTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5), gentle melodies (Mirraw ThurTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5, TirganachTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5) and cheesy tunes (CenwenTilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer5, Return of Cenwen [Bonus]Tilman Sillescu, Pierre Langer4) still works brilliantly. Brilliantly enough for the score to win the 2004 German Computer Games Award for Best Soundtrack. Now if that's not something ...
