Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story for Nintendo Switch

The good stuff

The moment that stuck with me was when Nunu and Willump finally make it to the edge of the frozen lake and the music swells. The visuals are crisp, especially in motion-snow swirling, ice cracking underfoot, the way light reflects off the frosty trees. It feels like walking through a storybook. And the puzzles? They’re not mind-benders, but they fit the world. One sequence where you use Willump’s size to trigger mechanisms by standing on platforms felt clever without being frustrating. Also, the voice acting is solid-Nunu’s innocence and Willump’s grunts add so much charm. It reminded me a bit of *Gorogoa* in how it blends simple mechanics with emotional weight, but with more focus on narrative pacing.

The not-so-good

It’s short. Like, really short. I finished it in about 5 hours if I wasn’t stopping to look at every snowflake. There’s no replay value, no extra modes, nothing beyond the main path. You can’t even save mid-puzzle, which felt jarring when I had to restart a section after a crash. And while the Switch version runs fine, it does get a little sluggish during big cutscenes-especially when the camera pans wide across the tundra. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. Also, if you’re expecting a full-blown RPG or combat-heavy experience, this isn’t it. This is a walking simulator with heart, not a game with depth in gameplay mechanics.

Bottom line

If you’re into lore-rich stories, atmospheric settings, and don’t mind a quick, emotional ride, Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story for Nintendo Switch is worth the download. It’s not for everyone-skip it if you want challenge or long playtime. But for those who enjoy quiet adventures with a side of melancholy and wonder, it’s a genuine gem. Definitely recommend it as a standalone title for Switch owners looking for something different from the usual lineup.
