Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story fails to be an engaging puzzle-platformer and fails to deliver an emotional, heartfelt story about a child and his Yeti best friend. Considering the performance woes when playing the Switch version, too, this is a song best left unheard. |

While Song of Nunu tells a story set in a pre-established League of Legends universe, players who have never played the MOBA won’t be lost in this magical journey. There are some issues throughout the game including glitches and framerate, but the musical score and voice acting is superb. A healthy amount of accessibility options also helps to ensure Song of Nunu shines for all gamers. It won’t change the landscape of the League of Legends brand, but it does elevate and diversify, bringing something non-fans and fans alike can enjoy! |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a simple game, no ingenuity is required to overcome the tests and it is quite linear, with no option for exploration, collecting items or secondary missions. The adventure focuses solely on Nunu and Willump and their friendship relationship. |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a wonderful, whimsical adventure that manages to tell a touching story about friendship. While clearly part of the League of Legends franchise with its inclusion of key characters, you do not need any knowledge of the series to fall in love with this game. The well-designed puzzles and platforming segments are a joy and more than compensate for the lackluster combat. Even with performance issues on the Switch, Song of Nunu is a memorable tale that will leave a lasting impression. |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story may be the best Riot Forge title yet. It’s more proof that the universe League of Legends has created deserves to be explored in as many ways as possible. I can’t imagine a better outing for exploring the relationship between Nunu and Willump. And to take it a step further, I think Tequila Works was just the right developer for telling the story. |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is an excellent candidate for your holiday gift list, if not a candidate for something to play this holiday season. It excels in crafting an emotional tale that hits all the right notes of childishness and the wonders of childhood while also encouraging players forward. It’s not the deepest game, but it is a masterclass in storytelling and worldbuilding. Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with any of Riot’s previous games – your yeti pal, Willump, will give you a gigantic hug either way. |

Inspired by Pixar/Disney films, The Last Guardian or even Ico productions, Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a very satisfying game, endowed with a pleasant campaign, a journey made in measures between a human and a Yeti. It doesn’t reach the magnitude and depth in gameplay of the productions it is inspired by, but Tequila Works has here a work worthy of being played and experienced by those who want to enjoy an adventure that is also a sum of puzzles, combats and platform passages. |

Song of Nunu awakens the child in us with a classic narrative adventure that is humble in terms of playability, but that manages to catch you thanks to the charisma of its characters and a story full of feeling and emotion. Its excessive simplicity hinders the result, but makes it an ideal game for the youngest members of the family. |

Song of Nunu tells a story with fairy-tale tones: monsters, journeys into the unknown, moments of uncertainty and confrontations with the abyss; thanks to the relationship between Nunu and Willump, brought to life by the developers through effective work inside and (above all) outside the movies, the adventure proceeds finding its own lightness even in the darkest moments. |

Song of Nunu is an entertaining game but, at times, falls short in its proposal. Although Tequila’s game is interesting, and you can tell that it has been designed with love, it has some gaps that have made it somewhat disappointing. |

Song of Nunu is yet another great addition to Riot Forge’s growing lineup of games based in Runeterra. The heartwarming relationship between Nunu and Willump carries this compelling narrative, while the linear gameplay along the way is well-paced and engaging. Though performance could be better and combat is a little simplistic, this is an all-around great game that we can easily recommend to any fans of old-school Zelda or someone looking for a high-quality, narrative-focused game that’s on the short side. |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is another successful Riot Forge project that expands the reach of Runeterra beyond the confines of the wildly successful MOBA. A rough opening chapter segues into an impeccably paced experience that’s short, sweet, wholesome, and all too easy to play. |

Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is a gaming masterpiece, a work of art that captivates from the very beginning, excelling in both storytelling and game design. Tequila Works, known for their exceptional storytelling in RiME, collaborates with Riot Forge to bring forth an unforgettable adventure set in the frozen expanse of the Freljord. This collaboration results in an enchanting and emotionally resonant experience that should be on the radar of anyone who appreciates rich, immersive narratives. |

Due to predictable story beats, odd gameplay design choices, and not allowing players to master most of the various mechanics in the game before the end credits roll, it’s hard to recommend Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story to anyone who isn’t already a fan of the source material. |

A new League of Legends spin-off that tells a story of friendship through well-established gameplay but lacking any particular creative flourishes. The most “Disney-esque” of Riot Forge’s products to date, it is a game unsuited to discerning palates or experienced players, but it can become an excellent pastime for younger audiences or for those who crave something well-told but undemanding. |
