    Whilst the concept of the game is good - sadly everything else about it is utter tripe.

    With an intro so long you could probably cook, serve and eat your Sunday lunch, you'll either be so damn bored before it even begins that you'll turn it off in disgust at the thought you just forked out money for a five minute short movie - or you'll be itching to play the game.
    In truth, it was as much as I could bear to hang on to my sanity before I started pulling my hair out at how infuriatingly long the intro was. I had to wait for ages. And ages.
    We have lives devs. We don't want to spend it watching short films on games - unless it's on GTA IV. Otherwise, no.
    The graphics. Dear goodness, the graphics are another problem. Despite a mass of backing from thousands of kickstarter supporters, the graphics look like they would be more at place on a playstation 1 console than on a recently manufactured PC. The controls are....strange at best, just plain tricky at worst - and the game...sadly, I couldn't bring myself to play it for that long that by the time I'd sat through the longest intro I'd seen in a while THAT I COULD NOT SKIP - and when confronted with the **** graphics and the dire gameplay, I thought there was only one possible option for this........the recycle bin.    … Expand

    If you paid for this game, I'm sorry for you. It feels like a soulless cash grab: an asset flip most likely where the devs didn't have the ability to add new features to the engine, so you end up with 'telekinesis' powers that have no way to be upgraded or changed. No gear, no weapons, no skills, no quest log. Completing 'quests' doesn't reward anything. The only positive point was theIf you paid for this game, I'm sorry for you.

    This action-adventure sports some interesting ideas. The execution leaves a lot to be desired though. Technically and mechanically it feels outdated.

    It could have been a fun game if it was developed by creative people with experience and money. [06/2015, p.64]

    If you are looking for a third person action-adventure with beautiful settings, an original gameplay, a great attention to physics, many powers and elemental spells, Son of Nor could be a good choice. Not everything is successful, but as debut game Stillalive Studios did not disappoint.
