First of, I want to throw out that I was a kickstarter backer and have been waiting for this game for over 3 years. Personally it was worth the wait for me, but ultimately I cannot recommend this game to anyone who hasn't been waiting in anticipation as long as I have. To begin with, there isn't much in the way of gameplay, it's mostly a walking simulator with the twist being you can possess different animals to traverse the environment. This isn't much of a problem because the story is pretty great. That is, when the game doesn't get in the way of itself. Every time I found myself getting immersed, taking in the world and what happened in the past, the bloody narrator would open his mouth and ruin it. He felt like a worse companion than Fi from Skyward Sword, always pointing out the obvious and never shutting up when the visuals were doing a perfectly good job of telling the story. On top of that, the voice actor tried to make the character stutter and sound emotional but it mostly comes off as awkward pauses in his sentences that had me sitting there groaning and wishing he would just get the bloody sentence out. Towards the end there's an amazing scene, the visuals, sound, and music are all coming together, and then the developers decided it would be a great idea to play a song. Not a grand, emotional, orchestral score, but a bloody song about forgiveness and it took a very emotional scene for me and flipped it around into something extremely corny. Overall it's not the worst game I've ever played, but I feel their should be an option to just shut off the narrator and the dumb song at the end and and just let the visuals do all the talking. The only bug I encountered was near the end, when I'm climbing snowy mountains, and I could hear frogs and birds chirping like i was still back in the forest. Really ruined the atmosphere. I would say hold off on buying this one unless the price drops to $10 or less.

Worth it if it's on sale for less than a dollar. Completed it 100% in about an hour and a half.
