Another gamepass win. Didn't hear or know anything about this game prior to the gamepass drop, but that trailer was everything I needed to see to ensure my interest. I've never played or heard of a game that depicts these old dark fables based off Swedish mythologies, and this game just nails the premise perfectly. The game runs so cinematically even though you basically are in control the entire time of the character. Scenes flow so well with each other, telling a story of a boy who wakes up to his sister missing, so he journeys through the dark and dangerous woods to find her. With plenty of puzzles to solve, fantasy creatures to discover such as gnomes and a stone giant, and beasts to either run from or kill such as zombies and a troll , this is one adventure that I will not forget. After a nearly 12 hour playthrough with all achievements unlocked (except the almost impossible "beat the entire game without dying once" achievement), I ended my journey. Highly recommended for people who appreciate dark and artistic fantasy games.

"Bramble: The Mountain King" is a game that truly enchants and immerses players in a fantasy world that feels like it's straight out of a fairy tale. From the very first moment, you're drawn into stunning environments that blend beauty with a touch of darkness, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere.

The art is one of the standout features. Each setting is richly detailed, and the vibrant colors make you feel like you're walking through a magical place. It's hard not to get lost in the visuals as you progress through the story. The enemies you encounter along the way are also memorable. Each one has a design inspired by folklore, adding an air of mystery and curiosity that enriches the experience.

Speaking of the story, while the plot may not be overly complex, it is captivating. You find yourself drawn into the narrative as it unfolds, experiencing moments of emotion and discovery. The gameplay mechanics are well designed, providing a smooth experience that combines action and exploration. The feeling of solving puzzles and advancing through the challenges is truly rewarding.

Another point worth mentioning is the soundtrack. The music and sound effects are perfectly integrated into the environment, creating an even deeper immersion. They help intensify the magical atmosphere and, in more tense moments, make your heart race.
