    Little Nightmares eat your heart out, is What I would say if some of the graphics and dead eyes of characters weren't a factor. however when the game pulls out and reveals the beauty and terror from Folk Lore brings in a great feeling of dread and overcoming both physical and psychological trauma. The story is solid and reminds me of the Little Nightmares odyssey and would recommend forLittle Nightmares eat your heart out, is What I would say if some of the graphics and dead eyes of characters weren't a factor. however when the game pulls out and reveals the beauty and terror from Folk Lore brings in a great feeling of dread and overcoming both physical and psychological trauma. The story is solid and reminds me of the Little Nightmares odyssey and would recommend for folks looking for a short low stakes gameplay. I love my platforming and some of the jumping can be tricky.… Expand

    It's good. Worth a playthrough but halfway through I found myself wanting to move on to another game. Gave it a 5 because I think it's being updated when at best it's a 6.

    It was fun. It wants to be Little Nightmares but is far inferior. Still, sometimes it was good. The fights are ridiculous and often too hard and grindy, but you can get through them by finding the trick by pure trial and error. I did finish the game. The final boss battle was almost insultingly narrow but it was the last one so ok i guess. Way overpriced at $30. About 1/2 the price of aIt was fun.

    Short but sweet (and deliciously sour), it’s difficult to imagine these fables being adapted any better than they have been here. Cross your fingers for a sequel. [Issue#29, p.96]

    Bramble: The Mountain King is a superb story driven adventure with solid gameplay and astonishing atmosphere that switches its tempo continually, emphasizing on the fact that even through the darkest of times, there is still hope for light at the end, although it may come with a price.

    A collection of Nordic telltales, easy to understand for everybody. While gruesome visual is increasing overall immersion, it is quite regretful that the game is offering somewhat short story, monotonous boss battle and puzzles.
