    Beautiful piece of artwork, but a terrible game. Please stop ruining great art by turning them into games. Lovely dark nordic fairytale, made with great passion and interest in its themes, but why oh why, do we have to endure games like this? Games do not work for everything. Just keep games like this without the gameplay, make it like Edith Finch, with the discovery and exploration, notBeautiful piece of artwork, but a terrible game.

Games do not work for everything. Just keep games like this without the gameplay, make it like Edith Finch, with the discovery and exploration, not the mindless and pointless frustrating boss battles and awful gameplay mechanics. It ruins what is a beautiful piece of work otherwise. Anyway, again, stunning art and themes though!… Expand

    For fans of games like Inside and Little Nightmares, Bramble has a more cohesive narrative strung together with cut-scenes and literal storybook narrative. The puzzles are fairly easy, with an unbalanced jump in difficulty on the boss fights.

    The way Dimfrost Studio manages to make you feel inside a fable with dark touches is brilliant.

    Bramble: The Mountain King is a dark and brooding slice of Nordic folklore that's well worth digging into, despite some notable technical shortcomings. There's an inherent jankiness to the gameplay here that permeates its platforming, boss battles and exploration. However, if you can make peace with these rough edges, you'll find a tale that's still dripping in atmosphere, packed full of wonderful details and a menagerie of foul fairy-tale beasties that draw you in and keep the short campaign well and truly interesting.

    Dimfrost Studio has managed the feat of making one of the cosiest games I've ever played, only to completely change its character and become one of the most creepy I've ever experienced.
