Jun 23, 2025Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is a clever retelling of a Russian folktale. Whilst it doesn't reach far with its levels of interactivity, it does do enough to justify making this a game. Combat, stealth and the other activities aren't complex but they help give the narrative some extra stakes. There's a great sense of dread in this game from the gloomy soundtrack and particularly jagged visuals. I love the bedtime story approach to the narration. I think a younger audience would really enjoy it, so long as reading subtitles aren't a problem.

Jul 28, 2025The beautifully drawn world of Vasilisa and Baba Yaga is enchanting, but it can't disguise the overly simplistic and repetitive gameplay. Ultimately, it's a visually interesting yet forgettable experience.
