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 a game that everyone can enjoy, whether you've played League of Legends or not, meaning you don't need to have any knowledge of Runeterra. Song of Nunu is enough on its own, and I dare say that this is the best game in this universe to date. As not every game is perfect, there are points that could be better elaborated, but they are very small compared to the incredible adventure we experienced alongside Nunu and Willump. As a certain snowman would say, Song of Nunu is a warm hug for everyone who passes by.

Overall Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is an excellent single player game. It’s over in around 8 hours or slightly more depending on your playstyle and speed. There is a tad bit extra longevity for completionists who will have to reload specific chapters to get all the collectible murals and lore entries. This is a game that I can highly recommend. Riot Forge and Tequila Works have created an instant classic and a worthy addition to the League of Legends franchise series of games.

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.

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.

While I enjoyed my time with Song of Nunu, I did have a few small gripes. I wasn’t a fan of the stealth sequences; not that they were inherently bad I just am not a fan of forced stealth in games and wish it would go away. I would have liked some more time with a few of the side characters all of which come from LoL but that’s simply because I am a fan. What I really can’t wait for is the team to make a game on the Noxus Empire, specifically Darius. Oh man, he’s in the forthcoming fighting game but I really want a solo game to use ‘dunkmaster’ Darius. But I digress, as a fan of League of Legends this game is really a no brainer, but for non-fans looking for a fun, action-adventure title then you should look no further than The Song of Nunu.

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.

Riot Forge adds one more point in its crusade to expand the League of Legends universe with a very interesting adventure located in that universe and that may well not be and would still be a good title. In an era in which adventures seem to be scarce and good be the exclusive heritage of great sagas like Zelda, or memories like Banjo Kazzoie, new protagonists for the genre are always welcome, Song of Nunu is one of them.

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is another successful Riot Forge project that expands the reach of Runeterra beyond the confines of the wildly successful MOBA. A rough opening chapter segues into an impeccably paced experience that's short, sweet, wholesome, and all too easy to play.
