This is a charming little interactive story that warms the heart even if it doesn’t necessarily challenge the brain. If you like your games to be story driven with characters you’ll end up caring about, this is a must-have.

At once a love letter to classic point-and-click adventures and a beautiful, brave experiment in its own right, The Lion's Song revitalizes its genre.

I would have to nitpick to come up with anything else. I suppose The Lion’s Song isn’t what you’d traditionally call a “game,” but it works as an engrossing experience that you’re bound to relate to in one way or another. Its relatively cheap cost also makes it an easy pick for the mid-summer drought of games, though it does more than just exist as a cheap distraction.

The Lion’s Song is a beautiful narrative-focused game if you get passed the sluggish cursor and the slow character movement. Each episode contains its own beautiful story which are woven together to form a satisfying conclusion. Any fans of the art scene in the early 20th century or anyone hungry for a good narrative should definitely board the train on this one.

What is it like to be a gifted artist? The Lion's Song, a pretty nice looking episodic indie adventure title by Mi'pu'mi Games, aims to answer that question for you. So far, it's doing an excellent job!

The Lion’s Song is a fun journey through and through. While I did wish that it explored certain themes more, I can’t be overly grumpy at the end result. It offers an engaging experience that instantly struck a chord with me. The presentation, choices and flow just feel incredibly well crafted by its developers.

We experienced the charm of interactive adventure video games once again in Detriot: Become Human recently, and there are actually plenty of similar games where you can make decisions to affect the story endings. The award-winning indie game – The Lion’s Song is one of the best in this genre too! Launched on Steam back in July 2016, the game has recently arrived on Nintendo Switch as well. We are lucky to be able to enjoy the game, so here is our The Lion’s Song review!

The Lion’s Song is certainly a unique story from start to finish. Those that enjoy a relaxing point-and-click are sure find this one to their liking. It requires a bit of patience in those cumbersome moments in the middle, but it’s well worth it for the beautiful art style, harrowing soundtrack, and truly creative take on the point-and-click genre.

It is the small, seemingly insignificant details of The Lion’s Song that will make you smile the most as you explore the four episodic chapters of the game. It’s purely story-driven stuff, but with wonderful characters, all dealing with very real (and easily relateable) creative challenges, this is a game that provides players with a real look into the human psyche, and where the world’s great ideas and art come from.

The Lion's Song is a different kind of point and click title. Less a graphic adventure, it's more a visual novel with a narrative focus. Thus, it succeeds or fa

Surprisingly the fourth episode feels the most disconnected from the rest, despite being the one that ties them all together. It is titled “Closure,” and that really is its purpose—rather than flesh out the new characters introduced, it provides an outsider’s look into the lives of the other three characters. It doesn’t connect things as fully as I would have liked, although it still has its memorable moments.
