Finished Dungeons of Hinterberg and had a great time.
Some of the things I liked
- Fighting and puzzles: are breezy in an old school Zelda way, fitting the holiday theme.
- Writing and characters: I often criticize that movie and video game writers look into other movies and video games and do not get inspired by real life. Not in this case. Characters were varied and felt true to themselves until the end.
- A sense of place and the authentic representation of Austrian aesthetics. Usually the only things you get in this direction is the fetishized version in Japanese games / manga.
The only major thing I didn't like were the animations and the lack of sense of weight in everything.
