Nothing new from a gameplay mechanics standpoint. If you've played a game like Limbo before, you know how this game will play. But Bramble: The Mountain's Nordic inspiration is so wild and uniquely dark, I still really enjoyed my time with this game and think its sets itself apart from the other dark puzzle platformers out there.

Boss battles are relatively creative, the music is fantastic, especially the final boss music. It's not great to look at but it's nothing that holds it back too much.

Overall, if you liked games like Inside and Little Nightmares and are looking for a weekend game to play, this is a solid option. It's on Game Pass too (as of this writing at least). It's a little slow to get moving but once it really jumps into its Nordic tales, it gets quite good.
