The Lion's Song: The Full Season Reviews
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 moving and earnest independent adventure game. My favorite thing I've played all year.
The Lion's Song makes one want to like it for what it's trying to do, but it's very dependant on taste.
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.
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.

If you love adventure games and have yet to play The Lion's Song then jump aboard as soon as possible.
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.
The Lion's Song is a game that leans hard on its storytelling and pulls it off in fine fashion.
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.

A thrilling story, very cool visual design and believeable dialogue. The Lion's Song is a highly entertaining piece of art.
