Bramble: The Mountain King

Красивая и одновременно ужасающая игрулька по мрачным скандинавским сказкам. Всё в ней хорошо и прекрасно, кроме одного - ачивка на прохождение без смертей.

I played the game for Play or Pay 1st Cycle of 2026 and it was picked for me by Bored Queen. This game was gifted to me by lironezzz from PoP Secret Santa. Bramble: The Mountain King was a really cool little experience for me. The game is absolutely beautiful and nails that dark Nordic fairy-tale atmosphere and aesthetic perfectly. It genuinely feels like you’re wandering through some twisted Scandinavian folk story. The soundtrack is also incredible and adds so much to the mood of the whole game. I also liked how simple the controls were. They’re very intuitive, so you can focus on the story and the creepy moments instead of fighting with the gameplay. It also ran flawlessly for me the whole time, which was nice. And I have to mention the gnomes, They are ridiculously adorable and easily one of my favorite parts of the game. The camera angles are a bit of a mixed bag though. Sometimes they make scenes feel way more impactful or creepy, which works really well. Other times they make platforming awkward and almost caused me to fall a few times because it was hard to judge where I was jumping. My only real complaint is that the game felt a bit too short, and despite that some of the fights felt like they were just there to stretch the playtime rather than add to the story. Still, I had a great time with it overall. If you like folklore and atmospheric adventure games, it’s definitely worth playing.

Great Game ! The Last achievement is trash tho :<

Limbo ve Inside ötede dur kardeşim baban geldi. Çoooook uzun yıllardır böyle atmosferi etkileyici oyun oynamamıştım. Nasıl bu kadar underrated kalmış anlamadım. Bu zamana kadar neler kaçırmışım meğer. Şiddetle tavsiye ediyorum.

Bramble was exactly the experience I was looking for. I had become impatient waiting for a proper sequel to Little Nightmares (1&2) and wanted a dark, story-driven, platforming experience to scratch that itch. That's exactly what I got with Bramble and I can't recommend it enough. It's definitely a short (~5 hours) game, but if this game's themes peak your interest at all, it's definitely worth checking out. PROS: A deeply engrossing dark fairy tale story. Some fun and satisfying boss fights. Excellent artistic style and soundtrack. CONS: Occasional platforming jank. A few unforgiving checkpoints.
