Wow, I loved this one.

The contrast of the beautiful settings and idyllic music with the very very dark themes is woven beautifully. From Sylvan forest to the bloody trolls' den to the halls of the mountain king, it felt like I was immersed in a Nordic fable, and the soothing, calm narration only made it more so.

Be warned, there are a few scenes that play out in this game that are not easy to stomach; I won't spoil the game, but please heed the warning that comes with this title if horror isn't your normal cup of tea. The game is a roller coaster of emotions.

The one negative I have is the combat or, more specifically, the targeting, a minor gripe, but it is rather clunky and was the cause of my failing some of the combat sequences.

TLDR: great graphics, narration, and soundtrack. If you liked Little Nightmares and love Nordic fables, you will love this. But be forewarned that graphic violence might turn off some people.

9/10
