About

El juego deberia llamarse correr en el bosque, porque literalmente es lo que vas a hacer. Creo que le falto un mapa para poder guiarte y localizar todos los coleccionables. los escenarios son grandes y te pierdes con facilidad o no sabes que zonas ya investigaste. recomendado si lo compras en rebaja.
Ładne widoki,ciekawa historia,przyjemny liniowy thriller gdzie musimy unikać wrogów i iść przed siebie,ale woda wygląda tak paskudnie że dawno nie widziałem takiego czegoś.
La historia tiene potencial, pero se debe invertir un poco más de tiempo en las mecánicas y aprovechar (o incentivar) a explorar, ya que el entorno está "vacío" y es un poco al tuntún. Juego en un buen pc pero hecho trizas, no me dio ningún latigazo ni bajada de FPS como algunos mencionan. Si lo encuentran de oferta, se le puede dar un intento.
Bonne petite surprise. L’ambiance est vraiment réussie, assez stressante sans en faire trop. L’histoire est sympa à suivre et le jeu mise plus sur l’exploration que sur l’action, ce qui change. Les décors sont jolis et immersifs. C’est pas parfait, mais ça reste une expérience cool à faire.
A story that is loyal to Norse mythology, I enjoyed every level and got a few scares out of the experience.
Really realistic in terms of the folklore. As a Norwegian myself, they hit all the right information of the lore. Sat at the edge of my seat and the attention to detail was great! Graphics as well was insane. Had some glitches at one specific point multiple times (same place every time) when running from the wargs, but other than that everything worked great.
Это линейный 3d симулятор ходьбы с элементами стелс и хоррора. Местами за вами не очень спешно бегают крипы. +/- Концепция - строго коридорная бродилка, только вперед и вперед. Сделан упор на норвежский фольклор и стилистику, в этом плане - очень интересно. +/- Головоломки - как обойти крипов. Каких-либо пазлов с ключами, кнопками не имеется (один необязательный замок с кодом есть). Для достижений - найти и собрать записочки, двери. +++ Графика очень приятная. Даже хочется делать скриншоты. +++ Сюжет достаточно традиционный для современной Норвегии - одинокая мать, которую бросил муж, ищет непослушного ребенка, которого увезли на некий туманный остров, застрявший в норвежских сказаниях, для принесения в жертву. - Игра недоделана - последние главы очень короткие и имеют баги в графике. Тем не менее - игра колоритная, крипы которые есть не что иное как традиционные персонажи норвежских сказаний - тролли, фенриры, разбитая Луна в небе - интересно на всё это посмотреть. Любителям бродилок - да, хорроров - нет, пугаться тут особо нечему.
- Reflections bug (visual stuttering) on some AMD cards has yet to be fixed to this day - Swimming looks awful - Controls on keyboard are messed up (mouse speed changes from normal go giga slow). I recommend to use a controller. - Enemies are more annoying than fun to deal with. Felt more like trial and error. Also some enemies seem to always know about your location even though you are hidden far away. I tested this numerous times. - Some visual bugs (but it is really not that bad if you disable reflections) + Even though water looks terrible, the rest of the game looks fine. I don't like the look of the characters aswell but the environment is pretty good. + Really good ambient noises like the creaking of wood. + Exploration is cool + Theme and story are fine, overall, I liked it. Swamp area was peak and the notes were interesting enough. Short game with some annoying technical issues and it is a bit unpolished but it was still fun enough to play through.
Good game, with a low budget, it takes a while to get going, it only starts to get good after chapter 0, but once you start playing with the mom, and walking through woods in the dark, finding texts about terrifying stories from Nordic folklore and encountering mystical creatures, it captures the spirit and fulfills its purpose.
