Northern Journey

It sucks living in Norway

Where to start? This is a masterpiece, and it is what videogames are all about. It's incredible to think that this is a solo project, down to the art and the music. Speaking of which, all looks and sounds incredible in this game. The soundtrack could easily pass as a trance-dungeon-synth album, and the art just completely sucks you into the atmosphere. It may feel janky at times, but despite holding onto a very old "soul", this game is quite refined, and even when you feel like you're lost, you're never too far from the right path. The atmosphere, the level design, the colors, the npcs, the occasional but always on point humor, the scariness (Marebog is downright chilling... I don't usually play horror games so some sections were quite tough for me but it was worth it)... All is truly amazing. The sheer environmental variety is also a great thing. And some scenes (the "rave" scene... WOW) were just the best. I truly recommend this game because it encapsulates all that I adore about videogames. Well done.

Гра має назву "Північна подорож", і слово "подорож" чудово підходить щоб описати цю гру. Попри лоуполі графіку, гра винлядає дуже малювничо, в деяких моментах справді завмираєш за краєвидом, і якусь хвилину-дві просто любуєшся місцевістю. Саундтрек просто чудесний, фольклорний стиль підкреслює всю магічністьтсвіту, і слухати його дійсно приємно. Геймплейно це чисто бумер-шутер, тільки замість атоматів/ракетниць тут арбалети, пращі та томагавки. Дуже цікава гра яку я однозначно рекомендую.

A captivating experience that delivers on its happysad tagline. A very easy recommend.

This game took 17 hours of my life. I don't want them back, but i do wish i could experience the game for the first time again.
