Inspired by Norse mythology, Through the Woods had simple gameplay; just stay away from the scary mythical creatures of folklore. It was a walking sim in nature, and I detest that point nearly always being made against games. There’s nothing wrong with walking simulators, it’s just a genre, and like with anything else just don’t play if it’s not your thing.

Regardless, it had interesting environments to explore and some pretty exciting encounters that required sneaking or running. There were also collectibles and a couple of secrets. When it came to the story, though, I found it to be lacklustre overall but it didn’t ruin the few hours I got out of it.
