It also builds its combat system around a few simple gimmicks that, nonetheless, are pretty fun.

One does not review The Huntsman : Winter's Curse without mentioning its beautiful and elaborate art style : unique, refreshing, a personal and authentic touch.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is also particularly pleasant ; wouldn't mind to pay for a soundtrack edition (Edit : there is a soundtrack DLC now !).
