What players say
Pretty good game! I've sort of beat this on my Switch/Switch 2 already, and I got it for Steam, and it is a significantly better experience (mainly because of W-A-S-D movement)! There is one thing though that I'd liked removed, when flying your mouse CAN move off the game screen when rotating the camera, and it often opens unrelated tabs I have in the background. Other than the camera issues, I'd highly recommend...

This was pretty decent! I was surprised that the soundtrack was so charming. The visuals are wonderful and the puzzles, although simple, are not bad to do. It was a fun romp and genuinely very faithful to the series. Truly hoping to see more titles like it! Being able to free fly and visit other islands was easily one of the coolest parts of the game!!~ <2
x-- 7/10 --x A fun little gem, can be a bit repetitive, but the dragons are the real stars here!
