Good detective game, but has its flaws

So, Kona isn't a survival game: don't expect anything more than a basic conflict with a few wolves and getting cold if you wander too far from a house or fireplace. The combat mechanic isn't really good: it's summarized by aiming a gun and shooting at wolves that lunges at you and missing you by a full meter every time. In short, they are not a danger at all. Kona is more a 3D point-and-click, similar to Firewatch but in Northern Quebec. Overall, it has good graphics, gameplay, lighting and ambiance. It's fun to ride the snowmobile around the village. Also, it's the first game i've played that is set in Northen QC, so props to the devs to try something new. Cons: it's a bit short, and the ending isn't satisfying. Once completed and the mistery resolved, there's no real replay value, except if you're an achievement chaser. I played the original french version, and it has good narration by a reputable actor. Not sure for the english version, tho. OVERALL: Good detective game, i'd recommend.

An immersive experience

This game is one of the most immersive I've ever played, you really feel the chill with Carl, the relief with every campfire. On top of that, driving the car is extremely satisfying, the weapons too, and few challenges are boring to do. I believe that one of the negative points of the game is that it is so open, because the map is very large but with little stuff, and Carl's movement, which runs very little, which is very stressful in the last mission. But it's still a great game. You can turn off the narrator, by the way.

Meh.

The game flip flops between serious and cartoonish. At times gets preachy in ways everyone is aware of in 2024 - It really is going exactly where you expect the game to go and this gets increasingly heavily handed untill, in the third act, the narrator just explains everything to you and then the game just abruptly ends. Out of 6 hours of gameplay it had a few, truly just a few moments. There were a couple moments of paranoia and gravitas and if the entire game had been boiled down into just 3 hours of that, itd be a wonderful gem. I got it at $1.99, I do not recommend.

Sort of ok, but with a nightmare ending

The game had a lot of potential, but most of it wasted. There's intriguing things to discover and to search, but not so much. Most of the game is just wondering around a large playground. If there just would have been enough time and energy to create some good stories around the village, this could have a five star game. A tutorial of the game mechanics in the beginning would have been great. I would have rated this game 3,5/5 or even more without the ending. It simply sucks really, really big time. There was a guide of how NOT to design a game in a Finnish game magazine way back. And this game's ending was like straight from there. I simply watched the ending from a Youtube video instead - and uninstalled my own game.

Eerie winter mystery

I found this game very satisfying to play, even if the ending was a bit anticlimactic. The world-building is exceptional, and they bring in survival elements just enough to make the world realistic, but not so much as to stress you out. The result is a very peculiar mystery that slowly unfolds in a dazzling winter wonderland, with all kinds of goodies to search out. The landscape is beautiful, the driving mechanics are fun, and the puzzles at time can be quite challenging - the mechanics pad is especially bewildering. It's not the strongest narrative, but the use of ancient folklore is pretty cool, and the narrator has the perfect voice. The whole thing feels like a season of Fargo, and that's a good thing. I very much recommend this experience.
