The game still manages to have its own unique aspects and it feels well designed. I loved the freedom to explore, uncover and collect items throughout the various environments. The combat feels a little clumsy but I enjoyed the platforming and crafting mechanics. I would strongly recommend this game if you like third person action games that see you exploring interesting open world environments in a beautifully designed world. REVIEW CODE: A complimentary PC code was provided to Brash Games for this review.

Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim is very fresh and has the nostalgic essence of some of the best platformers from the 90’s. This game is a great way to introduce a new generation of gamer to the classic platformer style, but the lack of voice acting and frequent bugs make this a game better suited for the casual gamer.

Cornerstone: The Song Of Tyrim covers all the basics of a fun title, but lacks the polish and finesse required to create a truly memorable experience.

There’s a reason scope management is taught in game design schools. Overflow Games’ underestimation of its own limitations is the source of almost all of the faults in Cornerstone: The Song of Tyrim. I’d love to see a larger team (or even just Overflow Games again, but with more than a few thousand dollars of Kickstarter money) tackle this project.
