Son of Nor Critic Reviews

Great, innovative mechanics.

For those looking for the most beautiful or moving game ever, whether visually or from a narrative state, move on. For those who are looking for pure action, you're getting a bit warmer but still quite a ways off. If you want a game filled with a mix of puzzles and combat that leans more towards the former, then you're right on the money.

If you are looking for a third person action-adventure with beautiful settings, an original gameplay, a great attention to physics, many powers and elemental spells, Son of Nor could be a good choice. Not everything is successful, but as debut game Stillalive Studios did not disappoint.

Son of Nor lacks in many aspects but it's genuinely funny, sometimes smart and good for co-op.

Son of Nor has some promise, delivers a passable game… but can be so much better.

Despite the early access phase, and some interesting ideas, Son of Nor is an unaccomplished game, one that really doesn't know how to take the best out of its qualities.

Son of Nor has it’s moments of brilliance where its strengths are realized, but ultimately none of its best elements are developed enough to make them feel meaningful for more than a few hours. Nor isn’t bad, but it’s so uninteresting it can hardly claim to be good.

A game with lots of great ideas that just aren’t implemented as well as you’d hope. Son of Nor is lacking in some areas, but still manages to invoke a few hours of fun nonetheless – if you can look past its rough edges.

This action-adventure sports some interesting ideas. The execution leaves a lot to be desired though. Technically and mechanically it feels outdated.

I can sense the heart in the project, but heart alone doesn’t make a great game unfortunately.

Son of Nor has a lot of good ideas, but it's not a good video game. The interactive possibilities with the environment are great and even some puzzles are clever, but this is a game that could have been better.

Son of Nor is an unpleasant nostalgic romp which brings memories of shoddy games made at the turn of the century. Level and gameplay design, camera movements, graphics… There is not much to see or to do here.

It could have been a fun game if it was developed by creative people with experience and money.

Son of Nor isn't fun at all, and it just feels like an unfinished game.
