Oaken is, like many indie treasures drowned out by big releases and an abundance of news, the kind of unexpected discovery that is a real treat, and one that deserves to be known, shared and recognised. Here, Laki Studios restores our faith in the videogame industry’s ability to deliver quality content with a strong personality. These cute little woodland characters exude a love of rigorous strategy, and every mistake can quickly carry a heavy price. As far as we are concerned, it is quite a success, to say the least.
