MYTHICAL STORY

8 / 10

Through the Woods is a sad, haunting tale that manages to scare without being cheap or easy, and one of this year's best horror games.

by Mark Delaney

Through The Woods is a horror game that delivers some good scares, just not really in the way that was intended.

7 / 10

Through the Woods might not be for everybody but if Norse mythology is something you are into, I would recommend you give it a try.
