Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth is a third-person action-adventure game inspired by the genre classics of the N64-era. Trapped in an ancient forest, a young prince searches for a lost god. Here he befriends the spirit of a young girl and a volatile child, and they quickly find their destinies intertwined. Players control all three protagonists as they explore an overgrown fantasy landscape, meet its strange and wonderful inhabitants, and overcome the ancient magic and puzzles protecting it. All this is wrapped in an interactive, non-linear story that challenges allegiances and true intentions. In order to survive and bring balance to the forest, your combat, platforming and puzzle-solving skills will be put to the test!

Extremely charming and reminiscent of Zelda titles (primarily Wind Waker). The exploration is satisfying and I enjoyed the collectables for the most part. Its biggest hurdle which hinders the enjoyment of dungeons is the lack of utility. The varying items you get are just slightly altered versions of weapons that don't change the game much. The interaction with npcs can be surprisingly in depth, making it all the more fun to explore. Worth a shot to see an indie take on a popular formula that we've been lacking as of late.
