The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as underwhelming, with many players finding it inconsistent and lacking depth, despite the presence of dialogue and a journal to track events. While some appreciate the effort to weave a narrative through a solitaire format, others feel it doesn't significantly enhance the gameplay experience. Overall, the storyline is seen as a casual addition rather than a compelling element of the game.
- “Enjoyed as a casual game, this has got a storyline running through it.”
- “There's quite a bit of story for a solitaire, or more like dialog after and between most levels, there's even a journal to keep up with goings-on, but you're not missing crucial info by not playing the first Far Kingdoms game, you can put most of the pieces together.”
- “Great graphics and an in-depth story that follows on from another HH-Games title.”
- “The story is completely stupid.”
- “The story in Winter Solitaire is very thin - just barely holding things together.”
- “It's probably just me thinking too much into it, though I gotta admit, the concept of an ongoing story, as inconsistent as it seems to be in this case, playing out over several games in various genres is a good one, but not so much when the other genres are not my favorite.”
