NexusSam AberdeenJun 20199.2/10Draugen is a stunning, emotionally resonant experience, and one of the best games I've played in 2019. For those unfamiliar with titles like Gone Home and Dear Esther (with a hint of BioShock), from which the game heavily lifts its inspirations, this might not be your cup of tea.

TheSixthAxisAran SuddiFeb 20208/10Draugen might only last a few hours, but it leaves a lasting impression as you're drawn into the mystery of Graavik and the relationship between Edward and Alice. It can be a little overacted and you can see some story beats coming, but as a first person adventure title it is an enjoyable experience.

Push SquareLiam CroftFeb 20204/10Again, admiring its quaint, quiet beauty might be enough to convince those enthusiastic about its premise to give the game a shot, although what awaits them leads to disappointment.

cublikefootClaire FerrinJun 20194/10For a walking simulator, the story is pretty interesting (even if simplistic), but it still feels like it's lacking substance. Combine that with the lackluster characters and stiff animation and you're left with an overall experience that falls just short of being decent.
