The story of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is widely praised for its emotional depth, heartwarming themes, and engaging character dynamics. Many critics highlight the strong bond between Nunu and Willump, describing it as a central and compelling element of the narrative. For example, IGN Spain notes that the story focuses on the development of their relationship, while GamingTrend emphasizes that the narrative is accessible to both fans and newcomers. Digital Chumps calls the story emotional, delightful, and immersive, with moments that tug at the heartstrings, and GameGrin appreciates its balance of dark and wholesome themes. But Why Tho? praises the well-paced storytelling that gradually reveals the history of the Freljord, making it easy for new players to understand the world of Runeterra. The game is often compared to a children's tale, with LevelUp noting that it is simple yet captivating and evokes a personal connection. Gamer's RD and Vandal also commend the charming and light-hearted nature of the story, emphasizing themes of friendship, companionship, and overcoming adversity. However, several critics point out that the story is somewhat predictable and lacks the depth that could elevate it to a more memorable experience. CGMagazine and DualShockers both describe the narrative as straightforward and the characters as one-dimensional or caricature-like. IGN Spain also mentions that the villain, Lissandra, is underdeveloped, and Tech-Gaming notes that the storytelling is simplistic and rooted in existing League of Legends lore. Everyeye.it points out that while the game has a softer tone, it still struggles with depth, and Multiplayer.it criticizes the unmemorable gameplay despite the touching story. Press Start Australia acknowledges the predictability but still finds the characters well-developed, while GGRecon highlights the emotional focus on loneliness and the bond between Nunu and Willump, but the overall narrative is seen as lacking in complexity and surprise. Despite these criticisms, the overall consensus among the critics is that Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story delivers a wholesome, emotionally resonant experience that effectively showcases the bond between its two protagonists. While some reviewers find the narrative formulaic or lacking in depth, the majority appreciate its charm, accessibility, and heartwarming themes. Digital Chumps and But Why Tho? both praise the emotional and immersive storytelling, and Nintendo Life calls it a powerful and compelling narrative. The game is seen as a unique entry in the League of Legends universe, offering a softer, more intimate story compared to other titles. While it may not break new narrative ground, it successfully captures the wonder of childhood and the importance of friendship, making it a memorable and engaging experience for many players.

The gameplay of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story receives praise for its engaging puzzle-platforming elements and creative use of unique mechanics. Many critics highlight the charm of Nunu’s magical flute, which serves as a central tool for solving environmental puzzles, with Gameblog.fr noting its "simple but effective" design and COGconnected lauding the "fantastic" implementation of flute-based challenges. The game’s focus on teamwork between Nunu and Willump, such as using the yeti’s abilities to navigate obstacles, is seen as a standout feature by Nintenderos and COGconnected, who describe the puzzles as "diverse and enjoyable." Additionally, GamingTrend commends the "smooth platforming" and Shacknews appreciates the "interesting puzzle-platforming mechanics," while ZTGD and Hey Poor Player praise its narrative-driven structure and fluid traversal that aligns with the story. These elements collectively create a sense of exploration and discovery, with Destructoid pointing to fun mini-games and collectibles that add variety. However, the gameplay is frequently criticized for its repetitive combat, lack of depth, and technical shortcomings. CGMagazine and God is a Geek describe combat as "repetitive," "uninteresting," and "lacking challenge," with God is a Geek noting boss battles are "telegraphed and not difficult." Gamereactor UK and DualShockers criticize the "stiff and sluggish" platforming and combat, while GameGrin and XboxEra point to clunky controls and "overly long boss fights." PCGamesN calls the gameplay "bland," and Meristation and Adventure Game Hotspot argue it lacks sophistication and complexity, with Meristation specifically mentioning a "lack of clear direction." The stealth sections are also deemed poorly executed by CGMagazine, and Tech-Gaming criticizes the "lack of polish and variety." These issues often overshadow the game’s strengths, leaving some reviewers feeling it fails to deliver a compelling or nuanced experience. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Song of Nunu is a lightweight, accessible puzzle-platformer with a focus on exploration and simple mechanics, but it struggles to maintain depth or engagement in its combat and puzzle design. While Gameblog.fr and COGconnected appreciate its variety and creative puzzle-solving, others like PCGamesN and God is a Geek find it underwhelming. The game’s linear progression and repetitive elements are a common point of contention, with Adventure Game Hotspot and Meristation noting it feels "not particularly challenging" and "families-friendly" at the expense of innovation. Despite these flaws, many reviewers acknowledge its charm and suitability for casual audiences, as highlighted by Everyeye.it and Nintendo Life, who praise its "simple but enjoyable" gameplay. The mixed reception reflects a balance between its nostalgic, puzzle-driven appeal and its shortcomings in combat and mechanical variety, making it a polarizing experience for fans of the genre.

The graphics and visual design of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story are widely praised for their charm, creativity, and thematic cohesion. Critics like App Trigger and COGconnected highlight the "stunning" and "Pixar-esque" visuals, emphasizing how the detailed landscapes and endearing character designs enhance immersion and aesthetic appeal. Nintendo Life and ZTGD commend the stylized visuals and "beautifully designed environments" of the Freljord, while GamersRD and KeenGamer draw comparisons to a "Disney production" and "vibrant, visually appealing" frozen world. Adventure Game Hotspot and But Why Tho? appreciate the "colorful and vibrant icy region" and the "broad color palette," noting that the art style effectively captures the whimsical tone of the game. XboxEra and Digital Chumps also praise the "gorgeously detailed environments" and "meticulously crafted" world, with Noisy Pixel highlighting the "endearing bond" between characters and the immersive collectibles that enrich the narrative. These reviews collectively underscore a strong visual identity that aligns with the League of Legends universe while offering a unique, lighthearted aesthetic. However, several critics point to technical and creative limitations. Checkpoint Gaming and Hobby Consolas note "occasional pixelation issues" and "basic technical production value," respectively, with Checkpoint Gaming specifically criticizing framerate drops on the Nintendo Switch. God is a Geek and IGN Italia argue that the visuals lack depth and detail, calling environments "samey" and "simple textures" that feel outdated. IGN Portugal and The Games Machine (PS5) mention that the graphics "fall short of the quality" expected from Riot Games, while Meristation highlights performance problems on PC. Additionally, Everyeye.it and LevelUp critique the repetitive snowy landscapes and limited environmental variety, suggesting the game could have benefited from more creative diversity. These concerns reveal that while the art direction is commendable, technical execution and innovation are areas where the game struggles to meet expectations. Overall, the consensus leans toward admiration for the game’s artistic vision and thematic consistency, tempered by acknowledgment of technical shortcomings. Most reviewers agree that the visuals are "adorable," "vibrant," and "visually pleasing," with Vandal and PlayStation Universe emphasizing the art direction’s alignment with League of Legends lore. However, the criticisms about performance issues, lack of innovation, and repetitive environments suggest that the game’s visual design, while effective, is not without flaws. XboxEra’s mention of fluid 120fps on high-end PCs contrasts with Checkpoint Gaming’s Switch-specific concerns, indicating platform-dependent experiences. Despite these drawbacks, the art style’s ability to evoke emotion and immersion—whether through Digital Trends’ "crisp and vibrant" design or Hey Poor Player’s "whimsical atmosphere"—positions it as a standout element. While not groundbreaking, the visuals are seen as a fitting and charming complement to the game’s narrative, even if they occasionally fall short of pushing creative boundaries.

The sound design and music of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story received widespread acclaim, with critics highlighting its immersive and emotionally resonant qualities. Multiple reviewers praised the game’s orchestral score, particularly the involvement of the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra, which Checkpoint Gaming described as “beautiful” and integral to the experience. The flute-based mechanics, central to the gameplay, were celebrated as innovative and thematically rich. IGN Spain emphasized the “well-crafted sound design” and the flute’s role in puzzles and storytelling, while NintendoWorldReport likened the mechanics to a “lost Zelda game,” underscoring their nostalgic appeal. The soundtrack’s ability to enhance the game’s atmosphere was a recurring theme, with GameGrin calling it “alluring” and Hey Poor Player noting its dynamic, emotive integration with storytelling. Voice acting, especially in localized versions, was also praised, as seen in Gameblog.fr’s mention of “excellent voice acting in French” and Vandal’s appreciation for the “very good” Spanish voice work. Despite the praise, some critics pointed to minor flaws in the audio design. Everyeye.it noted that while the music was “relaxing,” the overall audiovisual experience “could have been more polished and diverse.” Shacknews criticized the “rough” transitions and musical cuts, suggesting technical inconsistencies. WellPlayed acknowledged the soundtrack as “solid” but questioned its memorability outside the game’s context. While these critiques were less frequent, they highlighted areas where the sound design could have been more refined. Additionally, some reviewers felt the flute mechanics, though unique, occasionally leaned on repetition, as hinted by LevelUp’s observation that the music “plays a crucial role in puzzles and narrative moments” but may not fully transcend its contextual role. Overall, the critical consensus leans overwhelmingly positive, with the game’s sound design and music being a standout feature. The integration of the flute mechanic into gameplay and narrative was universally praised as a creative and immersive element, with IGN Spain and Multiplayer.it emphasizing its narrative and puzzle-solving significance. While minor criticisms about polish and originality emerged, they did not detract from the general acclaim. The soundtrack’s ability to evoke emotion, enhance exploration, and complement the game’s whimsical tone—as noted by KeenGamer and But Why Tho?—solidified its role as a key strength. Critics across platforms, from Checkpoint Gaming to XboxEra, agreed that the music and sound design significantly elevated the experience, making it a memorable aspect of the game.

The voice acting in Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story has been overwhelmingly praised by critics, with many highlighting its emotional depth, authenticity, and contribution to the game’s narrative. Reviewers such as Checkpoint Gaming and Adventure Game Hotspot specifically commended Nunu’s voice acting for its emotional resonance, with the latter noting the “superb” performance by child actor Adrian Raio, who “conveys a wide range of emotions authentically.” The use of familiar voices from League of Legends, as noted by Hobby Consolas and IGN Italia, added depth and continuity, while LevelUp praised Leo Garduza’s portrayal of Nunu for enhancing the game’s charm. Additionally, the game’s localization efforts were celebrated, with Everyeye.it and Gameblog.fr highlighting the value of fully voiced Italian and French versions, respectively, and Nintenderos and Vandal noting the quality of Spanish dubs. These elements collectively created a rich auditory experience that deepened player engagement with the characters. While the majority of critiques were positive, some minor reservations were expressed. Screen Rant pointed out that the “feisty children voice performances” might grate on certain players, though they acknowledged the overall quality. PlayStation Universe provided less specific feedback, noting only that Willump’s grunts and Nunu’s dialogue contributed to charm without delving into technical aspects. GameGrin mentioned that while the dialogue was humorous and character-driven, it did not explicitly highlight voice acting quality. These critiques were relatively sparse compared to the widespread acclaim, suggesting that any shortcomings were either niche or overshadowed by the game’s strengths. Overall, the consensus among critics was highly favorable, with the voice acting consistently described as “top-tier,” “well-executed,” and “a highlight” of the experience. WellPlayed and DualShockers emphasized its role in bringing characters to life, while XboxEra singled out the Turkish dub as a standout. The combination of familiar League of Legends voices, authentic performances, and multilingual localization created a cohesive and immersive auditory landscape. Despite minor criticisms, the overwhelming praise underscores the voice acting as a critical success factor, reinforcing the game’s narrative and emotional impact.

The technical performance of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story varies across platforms, with some reviewers highlighting positive aspects. On the Nintendo Switch, critics like Vandal and The Games Machine praised its smooth gameplay with no major issues, while NintendoWorldReport noted that it runs well despite minor frame rate drops during area transitions. For PC, XboxEra commended the game’s ability to maintain a fluid 120fps on high-end systems and 70-90fps on laptops, and Press Start Australia described excellent performance with only occasional geometry issues. On the PS5, GamersRD acknowledged adequate performance with minor camera and technical hiccups, and PlayStation Universe observed no specific technical problems, though gameplay mechanics felt clunky. These assessments suggest that while some platforms handle the game better, there are still areas where optimization could improve. However, the negatives are more pronounced, particularly on the Nintendo Switch. CGMagazine, Checkpoint Gaming, and GGRecon criticized frequent frame dips, crashes, and glitches, with Pocket Tactics pointing to a game-breaking bug that forces restarts. Hobby Consolas and COGconnected noted audio issues and texture pop-in, while SpazioGames highlighted imprecise collision and jump mechanics. On PC, Meristation and PCGamesN reported significant frame rate drops and camera problems, and GameGrin and IGN Italia criticized clunky platforming and checkpoint frustrations. The PS5 version faced issues with The Games Machine noting loading delays and command response imprecision, while PlayStation Universe pointed to gameplay mechanics that felt "clunky." These critiques reveal persistent technical hurdles, especially on less powerful hardware or in complex environments. Overall, the consensus among critics is that Song of Nunu has mixed technical performance, with platform-specific challenges. While Vandal and WellPlayed praised the Switch and PC versions for stability, respectively, others like Pocket Tactics and Meristation highlighted significant bugs and frame rate issues. The PS5 version, though free of major technical problems, still faced criticism for clunky mechanics. Despite these flaws, many reviewers acknowledged that the issues were often minor or mitigated by generous checkpointing, as noted by Tech-Gaming. The game’s technical shortcomings appear to be more prevalent on the Switch and PC, with the PS5 version offering a more balanced experience, though not without its own quirks. While the core experience remains enjoyable, the need for optimization across all platforms is a recurring concern.

Replay Value

TL;DR

Song of Nunu offers some replayable elements for League of Legends fans, like collectibles and hidden lore, but its short runtime, repetitive gameplay, and lack of depth make it a disposable experience for most. Not great for repeat play, but charming for casual or lore-loving players.

The reviews of Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story highlight several elements that contribute to its replay value, particularly for fans of the franchise. Critics like Nintenderos and Vandal note that the game’s collectibles and optional challenges add some depth, offering players a reason to revisit the world for a more extended experience. Nintendo Life and The Games Machine praise the hidden side paths and exploration opportunities, suggesting that dedicated players can uncover additional content, such as murals or lore-driven secrets, which may appeal to completionists. Noisy Pixel and Adventure Game Hotspot also point out that the ability to replay chapters and collect items provides a modest incentive for those interested in the game’s universe, especially for fans of League of Legends who might appreciate deeper immersion into the Freljord’s lore. These positives indicate that while the core experience is brief, the game’s design includes features that cater to players seeking extra engagement beyond the main story. However, the negatives surrounding replay value are more pronounced, with many critics emphasizing the game’s brevity and lack of complexity. Checkpoint Gaming and Gamereactor UK (both mentioning the dull collectibles and repetitive mechanics) argue that the short playtime—under six hours for some, around 10 for others—limits its longevity, making it feel more like a casual or disposable experience. Hobby Consolas and Multiplayer.it note that the incentives to replay are minimal, while LevelUp and Meristation criticize the game’s accessibility and simplicity, suggesting it lacks the depth to satisfy more experienced players. Tech-Gaming and WellPlayed describe the game as “average” or “forgettable,” reinforcing the idea that its linear structure and lack of variability reduce its appeal for those seeking a robust, replayable title. These critiques collectively paint a picture of a game that prioritizes brevity and charm over sustained engagement. Overall, the consensus among critics is mixed but leans toward limited replay value. While some praise the collectibles, exploration, and lore for adding minor depth, the majority view the game as too short and unvaried to justify multiple playthroughs. Vandal and Nintenderos stand out as the most optimistic, acknowledging that the game’s design offers some replayability for specific audiences, but even they note that it may not satisfy all players. Conversely, Checkpoint Gaming, Gamereactor UK, and Multiplayer.it stress that the experience is better suited for quick, one-time play sessions. The game’s appeal seems to be niche, particularly for League of Legends fans or casual players, but its lack of complexity and repetitive structure make it a hard sell for those seeking a more substantial or dynamic replayable title. The general sentiment suggests that while it has some replayable elements, they are not enough to overcome its fundamental limitations.

The overall verdict for Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is largely shaped by its strengths in narrative and charm, which many critics highlight as its defining features. Reviewers like IGN Spain and PlayStation Universe praise its emotional storytelling, noting that it successfully captures the bond between Nunu and Willump, while Destructoid and Digital Chumps commend its heartwarming, story-driven experience. The game’s visuals, music, and voice acting also receive consistent acclaim, with Nintendo Life comparing it to classic Zelda titles and Vandal appreciating its "pleasant and stress-free" design.

These positives underscore its role as a nostalgic, character-focused entry in the League of Legends universe, particularly resonating with those invested in its lore. However, the game faces criticism for its gameplay shortcomings and technical issues. CGMagazine and God is a Geek argue it lacks depth, calling it "generic" and "flat," while Tech-Gaming and LevelUp describe it as an "average spin-off" with repetitive platforming and unoriginal puzzles. Multiplayer.it and Meristation note that its mechanics feel underdeveloped, and Nintenderos and Pocket Tactics mention minor performance issues on the Nintendo Switch. COGconnected and DualShockers acknowledge the combat as "lacking" and the gameplay as "predictable," respectively, while Everyeye.it criticizes its simplicity as "elementary and imprecise." These critiques suggest that while the game’s story and aesthetics are commendable, its core gameplay and innovation fall short of expectations, particularly for veteran players seeking complexity or challenge. Despite these flaws, the consensus among critics leans toward a generally positive reception, especially for fans of League of Legends and adventure games. Vandal and GamingTrend describe it as a "memorable tale" and "magical adventure," respectively, while But Why Tho? and Digital Trends highlight its "triumph of fun, wonder, and heartwarming storytelling," with the latter calling it a "compelling narrative" worth recommending. While some reviews, like GGRecon and Hobby Consolas, point to its lack of polish and technical issues, many agree it’s a worthwhile addition to the franchise, offering a "wholesome story" and "captivating environments." The mixed feedback reflects a divide between casual players and critics who prioritize gameplay depth, but the majority view Song of Nunu as a charming, accessible title that effectively expands the League of Legends universe, even if it doesn’t fully satisfy those seeking innovation or challenge.

TL;DR

Song of Nunu is a nostalgic, heartwarming League of Legends adventure with stunning visuals and a touching story, but its generic, repetitive gameplay and technical hiccups make it a shallow, accessible title for fans and casual players, not for those craving depth or challenge.
