The Final Cut manages to include the three previously released downloadable content packs (DLC) as a separate mode known as Stories. Gameplay is split between working on your hideout during the day - securing it from intruders and performing tasks like cooking food or distilling alcohol for bandages - and nighttime excursions to secure the provisions you need, gear to be traded, and weapons for security.

Instead of taking on the role of soldiers or trained killers, you control the fates of a group of ordinary citizens, ranging from young children to older adults as they struggle to survive through the warfare gripping their country and raging through their neighborhoods. THIS WAR OF MINE: FINAL CUT is the definitive edition of 2014's strategy game that takes place in the fictional town of Pogoren. That could frustrate some players who have to struggle their way through sessions that are randomly created: Some rounds are easy to play through while others are exceedingly difficult to gain a foothold in. This is also a challenging title that, while easy to control, is difficult because there's no tutorial, so you'll learn via trial and error. While no sex or nudity is shown, players can discover sex workers that are held hostage in a brothel. Characters frequently talk about smoking cigarettes and drinking, and players can make these items from raw materials to use or trade for additional items. Profanity occasionally pops up in dialogue, with "f-k" and "s-t" popping up in comments. Little blood is shown and bodies disappear over time, but the visual style limits the impact of the violence. While there's no blood that's shown, the characters aren't soldiers, so they'll potentially be injured unless they ambush an opponent. Players will have the option to use guns, knives, axes, and fists to eliminate enemies. Additionally, these characters have to show compassion and empathy for others to stay motivated to keep going from one day to the next while suffering through some monumental bouts of depression and despair. Characters demonstrate perseverance in their survival, courage in their exploration of hazardous situations, and teamwork as they assist the people in their hideout and neighbors that need help. The story puts players in control of a number of civilians caught in the midst of a war zone, trying their best to survive against seemingly impossible odds.

Parents need to know that This War of Mine: Final Cut is a downloadable strategy simulation game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PCs.
