When reviewing things that are less “games” in the sense you’d normally think of them, and that focus more on ambiance or storytelling, it’s always a bit of a challenge. The value in The Mooseman isn’t its gameplay, which more often than not comes off as a bit wonky honestly, but instead on its distinctive art style and its ability to relate cultural folklore to you in a way that has you interacting with symbols and mythical creatures rather than statically reading about them on a page. How well this works will be heavily open to interpretation though, and is mostly a function of what you’re looking to get out of it. Purely in terms of gameplay it has puzzle elements that function but that generally aren’t terribly satisfying, but if you instead look at it through the lens of helping you understand and appreciate another culture you were likely unaware of? Well, then it’s a one-of-a-kind experience.
