Can I just take a moment and wonder if I'm the only person who had mixed feelings about the cute gnomes from: oh my God lady/dude keep your baby quiet! then how freaking adorable! And than please don't cry your making "me" freaking sad???? With damn wish they could have been red caps instead 🤷🏽♀️
Anyone?....no? Ok carry on

Just beat the game, and reflecting back on my time playing it, my main takeaway is that its best quality is that it knows when to end. It never overstays its welcome, it's not too short or too long.

Just beat the game, and reflecting back on my time playing it, my main takeaway is that its best quality is that it knows when to end. It never overstays its welcome, it's not too short or too long. The different gameplay elements repeat themselves often enough to stay fresh in your mind, but not so often that they get old. I genuinely enjoyed most of my time with it, control issues aside.
That Mountain King fight was a BITCH, though. The final boss fight was not the best time for the game to rely on the precision of its controls, when in my opinion, that's the game's worst trait. Not to mention that every time you die, it starts that freaking song from the beginning over and over and over and over. I was hearing it in my dreams.
All around, glad I played it.

I've put about 3 hours in at this point, and I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed playing it considering that the controls are distractingly clunky. It has a Little Nightmares vibe, but with a folklore twist. The art direction isn't anything revolutionary, but I do enjoy it. There are some great cinematic moments, and some fun camera angles thrown in …
Read moreI've put about 3 hours in at this point, and I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed playing it considering that the controls are distractingly clunky. It has a Little Nightmares vibe, but with a folklore twist. The art direction isn't anything revolutionary, but I do enjoy it. There are some great cinematic moments, and some fun camera angles thrown in that rival some of the best survival horror games. The level design isn't anything mind-blowing but it's competent. What I really appreciate is how they make sure to use the different game mechanics frequently enough that they stay fresh in your mind, but not so often that you get bored of them. Games like this are exactly why I have Game Pass, because I probably never would have tried it otherwise.
