This game reminded me of a lot of Slavic folk tales I used to read as a kid and I think that story is its main strength.

The soundtrack is one of the strongest pros of Yaga, to the point where I listen to it every day even when not playing the game!

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay is pretty basic - playing on Normal (which is one of three difficulties, the other being "Story" and"Nightmare"), it felt balanced for the most part, with the game being a breeze near the end.
