Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

Getting to walk around Moominvalley as Snufkin and seeing most of the characters from a world I’ve loved since I was a kid made me so happy. I’m so glad this game exists! It really brought back that special, comforting feeling Moomins have always given me. The gameplay itself is quite simple and relaxed, and for a cozy game like this, I think that’s perfect. You can take your time to explore and figure things out as you go. We get to help the characters with different quests, like gathering ingredients, finding missing objects, getting past obstacles, and much more! We also get to use different instruments to interact with the world and its animals. As you progress, you’ll come across little things to figure out and challenges to solve along the way. There are also some little side stories to discover while exploring, which made me want to wander around and see what else I could find. I love everything about the art in it. The soft, earthy colour palette and hand-painted style are probably my favourite part. The music is beautiful too. It can get a little repetitive, but I never minded because it suits the game so well. Even the little sounds of the valley make the world feel even more charming. There are no voice lines, so all the dialogue is written, with lots of funny little moments along the way. And the story is so sweet and wholesome! I finished it with that feeling of “I wish I could experience this for the first time again.” If you love Moomins, I really think you’ll understand what makes this game so special. But if you aren’t familiar with them, you don’t need to be! It’s just as worth playing ♡~🕯️°⋆🌲 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3791420733

Gamer who usually plays triple AAA and competitive shooters. GF introduced me to this. This is the game when you're overstimulated but don't want to game hard. This is the game when life is giving chaos and you want to get home. This is the game to pretend you're in the forest. This is the game fighting against the trends of our society. This is the game you play after doing your benchmarks on your new system and want to play a video game like Halo 3 - that reminds you why you play videogames in the first place. For those who are here from COD and Marvel Rivals, welcome.

I wanted to say that I can’t recommend this game, but somehow I just can’t bring myself to say it. The game is pretty repetitive and boring, but it’s clearly made with heart. Fans of the series will probably appreciate it. For 3 hours, it’s a decent game.
