Is it still worth playing?

Stoic's 2016 single player turn based tactical role playing game for Windows and OS X, with music by Austin Wintory. It builds on the first game with new units, talents, enemies and objectives, and introduces the Horseborn race. Combat is played on a grid and won through positioning and party composition. A caravan carries civilians to a destination with fights along the way, and you follow two parties, the first game's survivors and the Ravens, led by Bolverk. Choices from the first game carry over, story choices have consequences and characters can die for good. It is the second part of a trilogy. Units that play differently, such as the charging Horseborn and the support focused Ravens, on a grid where position decides fights, still reward planning today.
