But it’s the gameplay where Operencia: The Stolen Sun truly shines. Whether or not you care for the game’s narrative, the gameplay will get its claws in you.

There’s a wealth of puzzles, too, with Operencia hiding a number of tricks up its sleeve to make your progress a little challenging. Perhaps you’ll need to scour an environment to find a hidden clue to open a door, or you’ll have to hunt around for keys and important items. Nothing is handed to you on a plate and progression never feels too easy. But that’s all part of the fun.

Gamespot 8/10

Operencia tells a wonderful story derived from Central European folklore, mythology, and history, and it does so with unwavering confidence in its makeup. Companion characters are funny, and the banter between them makes for a fun experience that's not without its heartfelt moments. In terms of combat, the strategizing is so engaging that you'll likely end up charging rat warriors headfirst instead of hopelessly attempting to avoid bumping into them. Best of all, though, this world is so stunning that you'll just look at the trees, the water, the rocks--everything. It’s a shame that some of the puzzle solutions are needlessly frustrating and present significant obstacles in getting through the story, but aside from that Operencia provides a truly special experience.
