    It’s ultimately a very sweet game, a short little novel of an experience that is rewarding in its execution and appealing in its presentation. Winter Burrow might not be the most challenging experience, but it’s not really supposed to be. Finding the right balance between exploration, atmosphere, and challenge, Winter Burrow is a bittersweet tale that only grows sweeter as time goes on.

    Nine hours after reaching a ramshackle stump in the woods, I’d transformed my home into a cheerful shelter. Filled with well-earned comforts gathered from across varied landscapes and friends’ warm regards. Its intentional approachability can err on the side of feeling too easy, but the constant, looming danger of winter goes a long way towards balancing the scales. Still, the only thing I want to do right now is return to my roaring fireplace and brave the frosts in Winter Burrow.

    Winter Burrow is a cute and wholesome adventure title. However, it treads familiar ground and this may disappoint hunters of original action. I enjoyed the calm and adventurous moments, the simple quests, and the visuals.
