Review

Koira presents an imaginative world with a distinct art style that sets it apart from other titles in the genre. The engaging storyline helps to immerse players into its rich narrative, providing motivation to overcome challenges. The innovative gameplay mechanics promote exploration and curiosity, making for a refreshing experience. However, the game is bogged down by frequent bugs and glitches that can disrupt the flow, drawing players out of the experience. Additionally, some pacing issues make parts feel drawn out and tedious, while the limited character customization leaves players yearning for more personalization. Overall, Koira has potential but suffers from several execution flaws that prevent it from reaching greatness.
