Digitally DownloadedAlex KidmanApr 20265/5 starsStill, it’s beautifully produced and absolutely in line with the way that Jansson’s Moomin works ran. They’ve always left me wanting more, and I can’t wait until the next Moomin game comes my way.

SmashPadApr 20265/5 starsBy the time I hit credits, I had gone through a whirlwind of emotions that had me floored at the fact that the developers really went there with a Moomin game. That said, Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is a wonderful and whimsical tale where being together matters the most. Fun and beautifully written adventure games with philosophical lessons don’t come around too often, and this game hit me right at my core. It does a great job carrying over the same comforting feeling of hopefulness Tove Jansson conveys in her original works.

Checkpoint GamingAnna MontiApr 20267.5/10Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth is a heartfelt adventure that understands the magic of its storybook world. Jansson’s childhood series is rendered with such love and care that I quickly fell in love with the Moominverse. Hyper Games has very clearly treated the source material with great care and respect, creating an experience that feels made for longtime fans while also remaining warm and welcoming to newcomers. While the gameplay can feel repetitive at times and the firewood grind did sour my experience, it was still good to explore the snow-covered Moominvalley as the adorable Moomintroll to experience a winter that would send any Australian into shock.
