This game falls into the camp of the cinematic third person games “punching up”. Inevitably unable to compete with colossi such as The Last Of Us 2, made by a gargantuan team of over 2000 people in total and a ludicrous budget to boot, games like the first A Plague Tale, Hellblade or even Returnal offer surprisingly impressive graphics but end up cutting some corners by padding out the experience with more backtracking or replaying through already seen before sequences. Nothing too complicated, except a couple times when this has to be juggled with some intense combat encounters, in which it’s easy to lose sight of the short fuse towards freezing to death
