Everyone loves the Moonmins. Quite a sweeping statement, but what’s not to like? They are cute and colourful, and the show has some touching storylines. I was lucky enough to review Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley on PC. This was a game I adored and here is a summary of my thoughts.
“If you adore the Moomins, you must play Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley! This incredibly touching experience will make you smile throughout. Moreover, its ability to stay faithful to the original protagonists and their characteristics was impressive. If you then consider the amazing aesthetics, you will be transported to this weird but nostalgia-infused cartoon world. Accordingly, I adore this game and I recommend buying it.”
Clear River Games and Raw Fury have worked hard to release a physical version on the Nintendo Switch. Available November 15th, 2024. This news will bring joy to every Switch-loving Moomin fan.
