I went into this game expecting a simple short walking sim with a interesting story.

For roughly 10 hours, I wandered around, enjoyed the music and lush visuals, collected all the tributes and shrines, talked to the fox a lot, and almost always avoided being eaten by big cats.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
okay, this game is absolutely beautiful in every way- atmosphere, music, gameplay, story- it pretty much has it all. there is no combat at all which made it feel even more like a beautiful journey rather than a game. you spend a lot of time walking around which could be annoying to some people but remember- this is more of an experience than something you just play. reading the journals and the text found throughout makes it that much more immersive and i'd strongly recommend it. however- personally i think the ending of the game completely fell flat and that it brought this gorgeous, immersive and even powerful experience to an absoulte dead hault. it kind of feels like the ending insults all of the wonderful build up to it and i am slightly broken hearted after finishing it.
