89 / 100 - RiME
May 25, 2017

Rime is thoughtful, intelligently designed, and satisfyingly accomplishes the emotional experience it strives to deliver. It's Journey meets The Last Guardian, and while individual elements of Rime feel familiar at times, the way they're combined make for a unique and memorable experience.

Likable characters, exciting battle mechanics, and interesting colorful locales kept me engaged throughout my roughly 25 hours with the game.

They've built a solid little budget RPG.
