[Discovering Indies] Bramble: The Mountain King

I love starting an analysis like this, with a smile on my face, the feeling of having experienced something great, with the good taste of a great title still running through my body. And it is that Bramble: The Mountain King It has enough capacity and soul to leave that trace of love for video games.

And it's no wonder. Bramble: The Mountain King is a beautiful and dark story inspired by Nordic fables which has left us with a great taste in our mouths. This title, developed by Dimfrost Studio, it is a great work that deserves to be played without a doubt. Its plot is a tale of search, bravery and discovery where we search for our sister through a beautiful and dangerous forest. It all starts like a fantasy adventure that turns into a raw gore nightmare, secrets, puzzles, collectibles and a path with many surprises to discover.

With strong inspiration in works such as Little Nightmares or the great Limbo, this indie video game It does not offer us great innovations seen before in other works, but it knows how to play its cards and demonstrates a great personality in its mysticism and way of telling its story, always managing, in one way or another, to surprise and maintain tension in the plot.

When it comes to graphics and technology, Bramble: The Mountain King It gains muscle on PS5 (although we play it on that platform, it is also available on all the others: PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, Switch and PS4) and leaves us a great performance and beautiful images in its staging worthy of a AAA title. Without exaggerating a bit, throughout its journey this title has left us scenes that have remained etched in our retinas. Special mention to the camera changes and perspectives that have left us amazed.

Bramble: The Mountain King It is an easy game to play. Maybe too guided and with quite simple puzzles in its accessibility to all types of audiences. In this sense, everything works remarkably well, but We would have liked to enjoy more complex mechanics and be able to get lost a little more for your beautiful world. This does not spoil the experience, but it does shorten its possibilities.

As in its delicious graphic appearance, Bramble: The Mountain King knows how to masterfully use its sound to create an outstanding setting with very, very epic moments with very successful melodies and themes that blend together in a perfect way, creating truly magical moments that have fascinated us. Without a doubt in this aspect this game nails it.

In conclusion, this video game does what it wants to do. Its developers have been clear about this and have created a simple but magical story which we have loved to enjoy. If you like fantasy, fables and gore it is not a problem for you, this is an adventure that you should enjoy.

We didn't want to say too much so that you can discover it yourself because you will enjoy every minute of this journey, a beautiful and winding path, at the same time happy, bloody, exciting and with an aesthetic work and sublime camera changes and lighting. One that, if it does not stand out for its puzzles or mechanics, is capable of enveloping you in its masterful setting and staging, performing on PS5 with very notable beauty and fluidity.

Bramble: The Mountain King It is, without a doubt, a pleasant surprise, a hidden gem for many that, like its own story, you must discover and suffer because it will leave you with sensations available to few in this industry. The search for someone you love, a background of lore and ins and outs that you discover as the campaign progresses, short, yes, but super stimulating and with enough twists to keep you super inside, its excellent sound aspect in every sense, with beautiful moments worthy of any triple A, feeling that the image and the music dance in unison to delight our mind, are experiences that stay there, recorded forever.
