Highly Anticipated, Thoroughly Mediocre
I was looking forward to this game for the longest time. The art direction is amazing. The gameplay, story, and music - not so much. At every turn I just wanted something more, a combat system, a gripping in-depth story, a multi-dimensional score - anything that would make it feel bigger and more interesting than it actually is. Rime boils down to one word - precious. Any potential dynamism tonally has been sucked out in service of this one word. The score never goes through any range of emotions. The story is so thread-bare you'll have to lean forward to figure out what's going on and even then you'll likely not care as you shotgun your way through to the next puzzle. There's no levity, no humor - just a cutesy fox to follow and some puzzles to do. Had this game taken a slightly larger scope (while maybe remaining short). Had it been more Zelda like or story focused (e.g. Portal 2) it could have been a classic. As is, the puzzles and asethetic are simply not compelling or enchanting enough on their own to allow the game to be called anything but mediocre.
