The Lion's Song

I'm both happy and annoyed that anything remotely artistic in video games gets thumbs up. On the one hand, of course I want to see the medium used to its full artistic potential. But on the other hand, I want it to be good. The Lion's Song is mediocre.

The CGA-era graphical style evokes an oddly dis-configured nostalgia.

The gameplay is.

The achievements ruin the game.
