Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Reviews
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream features plenty of memorable characters you’d want to follow to the end, and its gorgeous, lived-in world is a standout. Unfortunately, the stealth mechanics never impress and feel too basic. It’s clear the game is more invested in its narrative than in giving players the freedom to outsmart enemies on their terms, making for a memorable story-driven experience but a mechanically shallow one.
Eriksholm is a tough game to fully review, as giving away the gameplay mechanics and plot elements that made me enjoy it should be experienced without spoilers. If you have the time, in this never-ending deluge of excellent games, consider adding this one to the backlog. It’s fun and not frustrating stealth and shockingly high production values make this one of my favorite surprises of the year.
If you're a fan of stealth games with a classic structure, narrative focus, and well-structured mechanics, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is definitely worth your attention.
