A great game! Full of spiders. I went into this expecting a short, game-jam esque affair and something very simplistic. I was pleasantly surprised to find a full-length adventure through a pretty captivating Scandinavian world absolutely full to the brim with spiders. The atmosphere, music, artstyle ~ 'vibes' as we call em these days ~ are immaculate. You'll travel through a huge array of beautiful locales and meet the locals, mainly spiders. The gameplay isn't great, but it's serviceable. You'll spend most of your time looking at pretty scenery, and the rest shooting at things(spiders). So, if you want to grade this game as a shooter, it'd rate pretty poorly. You'll be firing off unwieldy bows, throwing axes, and the hilariously awful yet ever-endearing sling, all while getting stuck on terrain. Oddly enough, the game reminds me most of Half-Life 2 - a semi-linear romp through a series of setpieces with occasional breaks for mediocre gunplay. This doesn't sound that appealling until you realize the game is so utterly beautiful and full of charm that you'll keep playing to the end just to see what area or situation you find yourself in next, or what kind of spider you encounter next. Occasionally, that area will be terrifying. This game spends a lot of time in deep, forboding caves full of spiders, or dark forbidden woods, usually also full of spiders. When the game brings out it's spools it can be legitimately pretty stressful and unsettling, though you'll always come out of whatever nightmare you find yourself in to see something beautiful and peaceful, so it really balances out. Still, I'm glad I'm not an arachnophobe but would seriously advise anyone who is one proceed with caution. A really fun time. I beat it in 16 hours or so, and just as it was starting to drag, it ended. Kudos to the developer who I believe worked on this solo.

[H1] Northern Journey was an experience. [/H1] Unless you are extremely put off by low fidelity graphics or janky (but satisfying) gameplay then you owe it to yourself to play Northern Journey. It more than lives up to its name and there isn't anything else quite like it out there. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's sad, it's creepy, it's an ADVENTURE and all that tied together by the amazing score. A game that could have just as easily been a walking simulator because the atmosphere is THAT good but also has a big roster of enemies, weapons and tons of puzzles to figure out and a lovely cast of characters. Yes it is jank, yes a couple of the boss fights suck donkey dung but the good far outweigh the bad in its case and it all comes together to offer one of the most unique experiences I've had in gaming so far. I've never felt closer to nature than I did playing this game without going outside. My Playthrough of the game [url=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLv4LBJ7ubTUVZ4C5H3RrQJGZwjfgIM6FO] here.

Amazing game. Was magical the whole way through and had some locales I will not forget easily. I don't usually leave reviews but this game deserves a lot more popularity than it has.

One of my favorite gaming experiences, a dark and funny medieval gothic journey through a strange and northern land.
