  Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a short yet refreshing adventure game whose whimsical world and cast of characters make for a cozy evening gaming session. While the gameplay is simplistic and doesn’t leave much room for deep thought, its strength lies in its ability to allow the player to stop and smell the virtual flowers, taking in the beauty of nature.

  A calm, cozy experience you can really immerse yourself in for a few hours while shutting out the world and enjoying somewhere somewhat strange yet utterly comforting.

  After playing Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, I still have no idea what the world of Moomin really is. But I will say that I am starting to understand why it is so popular here in Japan. The characters and environment feel like they're jumping off the pages of a picture book. This game has been a wonderful experience. Even though it holds no challenge, if you’re having a stressful day, I recommend playing Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley while curled up in a blanket with a nice cup of hot chocolate. It certainly made my hectic days better, so I feel like it would do the same for you.

  Snufkin Melody of Moominvalley is just the right amount of whimsical and charming, and the watercolor illustrations give it the perfect vibe. The game may have benefited from a little extra length, but I suppose Hyper Games was within the capacity to do so. Anyone who enjoys cozy games will fall head over heels for Snufkin Melody of Moominvalley. This is the best Moomin game we've gotten so far, and we hope to see more like it in the future.

  I didn’t know what to expect when I decided to review Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley. Least of all, did I expect that it would make me a fan of the works of Tove Jansson and help me fall in love with the cozy game genre. While there are a few minor visual issues on Switch, this is still an absolutely charming and relaxing adventure with a good message for generations to come.
