Review title of CarriesTheTeam The screenshots do not do this game justice.

The art style of this game is striking. It tells the tale of a Viking woman that unfolds gently over the course of the game, without breaking pace. The boss fights are challenging and they have character that is reflected in the enironments, similar to Shadow of The Colossus' likening to the bosses in their environments. The world is vast but exploration is not heavily incentivized, and will require patience as the movement speed is not fast- but this also lends to the artistic appreciation factor, and every environment and object is hand drawn and animated and must be seen to appreciate. The music score is flawless and keeps from being distracting, and is also loaded with perfect audio cues to subtly heighten suspense and set the tone for every single space within an area, and will dynamically shift when you approach certain paths or objects. The story takes a backseat to the audiovisual presentation in my opinion, but thats not to say its bad, this is a compelling title worth your $.
