Bramble: The Mountain King is beautiful, no doubt, but it is also one of the most bone-chilling horror titles currently on Xbox Game Pass. Did you think hopping across lily pads would be awesome? Awesomely horrifying, maybe. Did you think traversing through a woodland meadow would be picturesque? It is, but there are monsters lurking in the shadows waiting to kill you. You play as a little boy who has to contend with an eerie world that is literally and figuratively bigger than him as he attempts to retrieve his sister from this mythological nightmare-scape.ĭid you think garden gnomes following you around a la Pikmin would be cute? Prepare to have them die gruesome deaths. In the same way Limbo and Little Nightmares terrified (and delighted) players, Bramble: The Mountain King accomplishes the same thing. Trust us when we say at its core, Bramble is about horror. The gorgeous soundtrack and enchanting environments of Bramble: The Mountain King are a facade.
