There need to be more video games about Scandinavian folklore. I swear, I'm fascinated by it every time.

This is a great game. Now- it's not perfect. The controls can be janky. Sometimes it's unclear where you're supposed to go and what you're even supposed to do. And I don't like die-a-lot-athons until you memorize the patterns the game is telling you to memorize. I'd rather a health bar. Yes, even if it's unrealistic.

And this is just a personal gripe. But I feel like the game was too short. I don't know, I just wanted more. I guess that means I really liked it!

And it's such a delight and thrill. The world is so interesting- and the atmosphere is perfect. You want to see the protagonist succeed- and you really want to protect him, in a way. This world is terrifying. I loved every minute of it. And the story concludes perfectly. It tied up almost every loose end.

It's almost perfect. But it's missing something too, I feel like. I can't quite put my finger on it. I just feel like it could've expanded what we were given- just a little more. Not necessarily in gameplay- honestly, they could do to rework it. But the story...

I don't know. I guess I just wanted more of it. To get to know the characters even more. I just loved the world that much.
