Basically The Last Of Us but medieval and with rats instead of mushrooms. Fortunately I really like both The Last of Us and medievalism so it worked for me
A nice story with some casual but engaging gameplay. There are a lot of moments where it feels like characters do stupid things because the writing is thinking more about the function than logic. This makes Hugo a frustrating character in the beginning, as well as many things happening in the first act feeling very forced and inorganic. That said, it's a beautiful game and a pretty nice story to feel like you're a part of.
Great game and definitely worth a play. Some general stuttering and frame rate drops on the Steam Deck, however, but nothing too serious. It also drains the battery quite fast but other than that the game is brilliant. Compelling story with interesting characters in a unique setting with fun gameplay and a variety of combat techniques and stealth gameplay.
