The Lion's Song: The Full Season Reviews
It is the small, seemingly insignificant details of The Lion's Song that will make you smile the most as you explore the four episodic chapters of the game. It's purely story-driven stuff, but with wonderful characters, all dealing with very real (and easily relateable) creative challenges, this is a game that provides players with a real look into the human psyche, and where the world's great ideas and art come from.
The project, deeply reminiscent of INSIDE, unexpectedly gets to a certain extent and the promise of the 1979 Revolution: Black Friday - in a grotesque manner. And from a slightly awkward, but not so bad clone turns... well, let not in a beautiful swan with a strong personality, but the project with its own voice.

Overall, The Lion’s Song is a wonderful game that I highly recommend to anyone who might be interested in it. The stories are fun and all connect in the last chapter of the game, and I had a wonderful time playing it. Right now you can pick up the season pass for about $10, which isn’t bad for the 5 hours of gameplay that I got out of it. I think you’ll have a really good time with it, and I’m excited to check out what this developer has in store for the future!
If you enjoy a slower game with a brilliant and touching story or stories in which, to get the most out of it, you have to give it your full attention, then The Lion’s Song may very well be a game that you will love and think about for months to come.
The Lion’s Song adds its name to the list of wonderful indies moving onto the Nintendo Switch.
Overall I was entranced by the stories in The Lion’s Song and their themes. The interconnected nature of the characters, both in terms of how they find their inspirations and even intersect in small ways with one another is well-planned and executed to help deliver its point. Though it doesn’t have much gameplay to speak of for its price it offers a unique and introspective experience on the Switch I was glad to have the opportunity to enjoy.
The wonderful visuals, composition of music, as well as writing, touched my heart on so many layers. Loving a good narrative that left me thinking, The Lion’s Song encouraged you to make your own impressions and reflect on the stories. Released in 2017, the Switch port of Austrian indie game is not that old but has possibly one of the worst release dates this year. Just a few days before Octopath Traveler! It’s sad because this game deserves a lot and even had won an award last year and is, in my opinion, worth your time and money if you are a fan of this genre or want to try something new in that direction.
A thrilling story, very cool visual design and believeable dialogue. The Lion's Song is a highly entertaining piece of art.

The Lion’s Song is short, but its characters, connections, and choices make it worthwhile for anyone intrigued by the idea of a story that follows multiple characters in their search for inspiration.
with the end of its season, The Lion's Song shows how mature stories can be, and even with its events happening almost 100 years ago, the problems faced here are still present in modern society.
