The Lion's Song: The Full Season Reviews
The Lion’s Song adds its name to the list of wonderful indies moving onto the Nintendo Switch.
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!
The Lion's Song is a game that leans hard on its storytelling and pulls it off in fine fashion.
Similar to some of Telltale's adventure games, The Lion's Song lacks in many gameplay aspects but is mitigated by the fact that your narrative choices do matter.
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.
It requires a bit of patience in those cumbersome moments in the middle, but it's well worth it for the beautiful art style, harrowing soundtrack, and truly creative take on the point-and-click genre.
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 is an interesting title. More often than not I enjoyed it, but it's a short experience. I saw the end credits roll after just a few hours. In fairness, I've replayed a couple of episodes, but I can't help but feel this game is too short for the type of storytelling the developers are going for.
The Lion's Song makes one want to like it for what it's trying to do, but it's very dependant on taste.
A thrilling story, very cool visual design and believeable dialogue. The Lion's Song is a highly entertaining piece of art.
