    Beautiful, complex, and intriguing, The Frostrune is an experience not to be missed, so long as you're patient enough to take the journey.

    A point-and-click graphical adventure based on Norse mythology. A history full of beauty that transports us to the mythical lands and legends of the Vikings.

    As much as The Frostrune evokes excellent “puzzle room”-style games, it doesn't quite match the high standards set by games that came before it. It still offers a lot of the same puzzling action, but doesn't quite do so with the clarity to make what you're doing feel purposeful or satisfying.

    The puzzles never feel compelling or tricky enough, and the world feels too barren and lifeless to really invest a great deal in. However, ultimately it is a very cheap title and, as a distraction for a few hours, it is certainly worth the time.

    As a standalone experience, The Frostrune is lacking. But as the gateway to another world, it shines like ice in the morning sun.

    It is difficult to recommend The Frostrune to anyone but die-hard mobile adventure gamers and/or people with a passion for Norse mythology.
