This was one of the first Switch games I bought, but it took me forever to actually beat the damn game. After 3+ years, I finally finished it.
It is quite unique as an experience. It is somewhat similar to games like Firewatch in that it is a FPS adventure walking sim type game, but with some action tossed in on brief occasions. The setting is unique and the narrators voice is distinct. I'm still not sure how I feel about it because it is SO strange sounding, but on the other hand it is actually quite soothing, and the fact that it's unique makes it more enjoyable I feel like.
I must say as well, visually this game is just beautiful. I FEEL cold just playing this, which is impressive for a game to achieve. The sound effects and design mixed with the visuals, the wind hitting the trees, it creates a great atmosphere
What I don't understand though is why this is an open world game. Because on paper this allows you to progress the narrative in any order you want, but that's not how it actually works. You have to do things in a really specific order with certain items. So it dosent really feel like there is a reason why the map should be open world at all. The story was also really lackluster for the buildup it had. And it has some general jank.
I don't think any of it can take away from the overall experience. It looks sounds and feels good to play. So I'd suggest it.
