I’ve a bit of a soft spot for a good frozen outdoors setting. Sure, they can be a bit one note visually, but considering that even a doghole like London looks beautiful in the snow, it can be a strong note.
Kona 2 Colon Brume’s snowy post-blizzard setup makes pretty good on the promise, and also smartly contrasts those stark snowbanks and deadly cold forests with the traditional cramped, dark indoors of many a horror game. I suspect I’d have enjoyed it less had it started with the latter, and truth be told, I’m not sure it’s quite my thing overall. But it’s held my attention so far, which most of its peers don’t.
