Minute Review: Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery EP (PC, 2012)



- Characteristic art style lends ambience and depth
- Simple gameplay 


There are a lot of hill-climbing and mouth opening antics

 - Very well animated
- Not always clear on what needs to be done

While fights carry the danger of death, they are heavily coreographed


- Sloppy, overindulgingly reverential script 
- Excellent soundtrack

This is where you start the dream world - the other side of the record

- Some secrets add layers to an otherwise small world
- At times, excessive wording takes away from what could have been a purer synthesis of sight & sound

If Nintendo's ever up for outsourcing Zelda again, they should ring these fellas.

An excellent experience that powers through its short-comings. One of the most unique adventures of recent years.
