    Song of Nunu is a very pleasant surprise. It takes advantage of the League of Legends license like no other Riot Forge game to date, and inoculates you with the love that Tequila Works puts into their work. It's not a revolutionary game and could have a better finish, but it's as rounded and huggable as Willump. [Recommended]

    Ultimately, I found myself charmed by Song of Nunu. I fell in love with the characters in a way that simply wasn’t possible when they were confined to the competitive chambers of League of Legends. Riot Forge has proven to be an excellent way to explore small slices of this growing universe, giving individual champions the attention and love they deserve. Nunu and Willump deserved better than to be just champions in League, the stressful competitive game where people yell at them (well, me). Song of Nunu frees them, and it’s a joy to watch the duo caper across their very own stage.

    So yes, Song Of Nunu won't win any prizes for ingenuity or platforming prowess, but it is very handsomely made, and I had a lovely, heartwarming time with it. It certainly feels like a step up from Rime, the game that helped put Tequila Works on the map for these kinds of soulful adventures, even if it doesn't wrench quite so violently at your heartstrings. If nothing else, it will remind you of simpler, perhaps happier days when every third-person adventure game wasn't just another grim Soulslike you had to endure, and that there's still plenty of joy and warmth to be found in a story about a boy looking for his mum with his big yeti dog friend. Whether you like League Of Legends or not, it's another notch we can add to the recent 'good character platformer' list.
