Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is an excellent candidate for your holiday gift list, if not a candidate for something to play this holiday season. It excels in crafting an emotional tale that hits all the right notes of childishness and the wonders of childhood while also encouraging players forward. It's not the deepest game, but it is a masterclass in storytelling and worldbuilding. Don't worry if you're unfamiliar with any of Riot's previous games – your yeti pal, Willump, will give you a gigantic hug either way.

Song of Nunu is an entertaining game but, at times, falls short in its proposal. Although Tequila's game is interesting, and you can tell that it has been designed with love, it has some gaps that have made it somewhat disappointing.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a wonderful, whimsical adventure that manages to tell a touching story about friendship. While clearly part of the League of Legends franchise with its inclusion of key characters, you do not need any knowledge of the series to fall in love with this game. The well-designed puzzles and platforming segments are a joy and more than compensate for the lackluster combat. Even with performance issues on the Switch, Song of Nunu is a memorable tale that will leave a lasting impression.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story fails to be an engaging puzzle-platformer and fails to deliver an emotional, heartfelt story about a child and his Yeti best friend. Considering the performance woes when playing the Switch version, too, this is a song best left unheard.

Song of Nunu awakens the child in us with a classic narrative adventure that is humble in terms of playability, but that manages to catch you thanks to the charisma of its characters and a story full of feeling and emotion. Its excessive simplicity hinders the result, but makes it an ideal game for the youngest members of the family.

Song of Nunu is yet another great addition to Riot Forge's growing lineup of games based in Runeterra. The heartwarming relationship between Nunu and Willump carries this compelling narrative, while the linear gameplay along the way is well-paced and engaging. Though performance could be better and combat is a little simplistic, this is an all-around great game that we can easily recommend to any fans of old-school Zelda or someone looking for a high-quality, narrative-focused game that's on the short side.

Song of Nunu is a wholesome adventure that follows two beloved characters from the League of Legends universe as they venture through the icy lands of Freljord. Its charming presentation, excellent voice-acting, and accessible platforming mechanics add up to an adventure worth taking. Despite the mediocre combat, Song of Nunu is a wonderful experience that's immersive and expands on the League of Legends lore in a meaningful way.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story may be the best Riot Forge title yet. It’s more proof that the universe League of Legends has created deserves to be explored in as many ways as possible. I can’t imagine a better outing for exploring the relationship between Nunu and Willump. And to take it a step further, I think Tequila Works was just the right developer for telling the story.

Although Song of Nunu lacks depth, it picks up on the charm of the character interactions and weaves a simple but interesting story that will keep you hooked right to the end. It's great fun to play from start to finish. With a lifespan of around ten hours and little replayability, the game is still worth playing if you're looking for a cozy experience or a game to play with your younger ones.
