    Exploring the Scottish Highlands can be more tiring than one could imagine. In A Highland Song, a new perspective awaits you. Between beautiful and deadly mountains, Moira's journey towards his uncle's lighthouse becomes an adventure to not forget, due to good and (a few) bad reasons.

    A Highland Song is another winner from inkle, and despite being a complete genre shift from 80 Days it has a lot of the same things going for it. It’s a beautiful game to be sure, and the writing is both meaningful and a pleasure to parse. But the gameplay itself uses what are fairly basic mechanics to create a surprisingly complex journey, one that offers so many secrets and branching paths that you’ll almost certainly want to play through it again the minute you arrive at the conclusion for the first time. A real joy, in every sense of the word.

    Even 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.
