5/10

+ Beautiful map with some really stunning landscapes. I would absolutely love to hike in this place.
+ Animals walking and flying around - chickens, wild birds, frogs and turtles.

- Terrible narration. I couldn't understand most of it due to the heavy accent of the narrator. Subtitles could help, but are not available. The parts I did understand seemed like pretentious nonsense. "Void of finite infinity" anyone?
- The music is nice, but it only plays for a few seconds at a time and is normally drowned out by the bad narration. I wish the music was at least looped for a bit more, though I can see why silence is suitable for large parts of the game (I prefer to not listen to music while hiking in nature).
- Various bugs which didn't break the game, but made it less immersive. 3D clipping for example. Also, it's possible to walk straight through tall shrubs, and I actually saw a chicken walk through a closed door.
- Short fences are scattered throughout the map. They are all the same size and typically appear in places where in real life there won't be any fences, let alone ones you can walk around.
- Weird water streaks, as if the player is wearing a diving mask and is walking through the rain. The thing is, it happens when there's no rain or even light drizzle around. Maybe it's meant to be sweat? If so, then it's a really unrealistic representation.

This is a rather boring walking simulator with nice visuals. With more comprehensible narration I probably would have recommended it (at least when on sale or in a bundle), but as it is, I suggest you play something else.

"The parts I did understand seemed like pretentious nonsense. "Void of finite infinity" anyone?" I felt the same with The Old City: Leviathan
