Bramble: The Mountain King was a gaming highlight of mine from last year and what really caught my interest was how its characters are actually based on real-life Scandinavian folklore. From the gnomes and trolls of Norway to the Skogsrå and Näcken of Sweden, join me on an adventure to the frozen northern wilderness to learn more about how this action-platformer brings Scandinavian legends to life.
