Through the Woods

Writing a review for this game is difficult, to say the least. I very much adore the Idea behind this game, but the execution is very clumsy. Everything taken from Norse Mythology is very well done and - to my understanding - very faithful to it's source! But it's all wrapped up in a story-driven journey through the perspective of an incredibly superficial, unlikeable and outright detestable protagonist who faces no actual consequences besides superficial levels of guilt for her despicable actions by the end. By the end of the game, it's incredibly difficult to sympathize with the Mother (which I believe was the intent!) but the lack of satisfying repercussions makes her story feel shallow. The gameplay regarding many of the Nordic entities we encounter ranges from tedious to fun but incredibly easy. Their models are very nice and I appreciate the atmosphere of the game. The environments can be difficult to understand and navigate in a way that harms it's intended gameplay. Some paths just loop around to each other, which may discourage from exploration, yet a variety of achievements and additional Lore WANT you to explore! It can be very difficult to tell which areas are …

It's an interesting game with a good setup, but the difficulty feels completely unfair. The enemy AI just beelines straight for you without any real logic, making the experience tedious.

A pretty good game. The games strengths are in the beautiful, mysterious, haunting vistas and in exploring the sites. The mythical creatures were very well done. The sound and music score worked well I thought. Some of the voice acting could've been better but not bad. The game ran fine maxed out. I fell through the world twice trying to go where no one had gone before. There are plenty of save points. Only a couple minutes or less to replay. I enjoyed playing. I could see replaying sometime down the road. What would have made this game great is if they had just added a bit more interactivity here and there. More lore would have been great. There is a a lot to see and explore but no real reward aside from eye candy quite often. Most of the views are worth it though. The world is beautiful and mysterious. There are areas off the beaten path with scripted events and achievements etc. Just not enough for the ground you cover walking. At least the run speed is decent and infinite.

Like and follow. https://steamcommunity.com/groups/AUHorrorGameFans This is an amazing walkthrough game, a tale from the Old Gods of War. The All-Father is always watching. A beautiful Nordic tale of the old Germanic gods. The lies we weave, the repercussions of these lies, and sacrifices made to better the world, but with a modern protagonist. A beautiful, heartfelt story all women should play. Mothers especially, and fathers as well. You will love me or hate me. The ones that hate will be because of their own guilt.

Scenery was great and the story was interesting and was a good game to play through

x-- 6/10 --x Very rough game. Could have been a lot better if a few things were fixed. The overall tension and atmosphere is amazing, and the sound design is VERY good. However the little annoyances keep the scares away, IMO. - Voice actor for the child is not the best - A few visual defects here and there - Story is not the best, however the lore is really good - Atrocious visual quality dips (water is completely flat, texture for humans looks unnatural, etc)
