Dec 15, 2023Even in this top year, A Highland Song stands alone. Rarely have we seen a game that understands so well how interactivity and freedom of choice enhance the gaming experience, without taking away that same freedom later. A Highland Song is a sublime exploration of coming of age, Scottish history and the myths that arise where man and nature meet.

Dec 5, 2023A Highland Song is such a beautiful game, whether you find its charm in the soundtrack, gorgeous visuals, or wonderful story.

Dec 5, 2023Moira McKinnon runs fast and never looks back. The challenges of the Highlands have bent the Romans, but not a fifteen-year-old girl determined to see the sea: the fast pace and the resolute look make Moira one of the most interesting video game protagonists of this year. The splendor of Scotland and the artistry of Inkle do the rest: In Highland Song never gets bored thanks to the continuous surprises of the Scottish hills and mountains, now beaten by incessant winds, now tormented by a seemingly endless snow.

Dec 5, 2023This trek across forbidding crags and through crumbling caves demands resilience and determination, but rewards it with a wonderfully rich and atmospheric sense of place.
-
Dec 5, 2023A Highland Song is wonderful. The atmosphere that permeates the game is intoxicating and will make you want to search every inch of the environment. There is a real incentive to replay the game due to the many routes and the timed objective. Although the survival aspect feels a little unnecessary, there are plenty of elements within the design that will make you fall in love with Scotland.

Dec 5, 2023A captivating and fascinating journey, but an improvable game.

Dec 6, 2023And yet, as you struggle through the game's often abstruse systems, there is something rewarding in it all. More clarity both over where to go next and what the game itself is built upon would be welcome, but what is here is worthwhile and, for those with a greater tolerance for getting lost over and over or finding the right way and being unable to progress because the search has tired you out to much, A Highland Song holds some promise. After everything, the view is just about worth the climb.
