One of the most surprising games I've ever played. When I started I was confused with all the hype, it seemed like a childish game making me play hide and seek with gnomes. And then it kept surprising me at every turn with unexpected twists. I love how the story is told like a fairy tale with a narrator instead of dialogue and with actual fairy tale books you can read explaining its super interesting norse mythology and folklore. I love how dark and scary it gets. After the joyous first part it starts getting a bit like little nightmares and it just keeps getting crazier, soon you're dealing with dead babies, murder, zombies, your character (A CHILD!) covered in blood in a surrealistic nightmare, I was GAGGED. The mechanics are very simple and some of the boss fights can get a bit frustrating (especially the last one) but other than that the game is absolutely gorgeous, with an amazing story, beautiful soundtrack and I can totally understand what all the hype was about
