Folklore is a game that I wanted to play for years, but only recently acquired. The term Hidden Gem is way overused, but it does apply to this game as it was completely overlooked. I haven't played very far into the game as of yet, but so far I am really enjoying it. It starts out like an adventure game, similar to something like Syberia, or Dreamfall, but as time goes by, your character gains the ability to enter the land of the dead, and then it turns into a hack 'n slash RPG who's combat system reminds me of older Fromsoftware games like Evergrace, and Kings Field.

The art direction in the game is gorgeous. This comes from the same developers that made Genji, and later would make Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom for the 360 and PS3. Majin is another super underrated game that's worth looking into if you have the chance.

So far, I am really enjoying Folklore for what it is. If there is one thing that might not appeal to everyone it might be the forces Sixaxis controls in the game where you have to yank the controller to absorb an enemy's soul. That's a minor complaint though. I definitely look forward to playing further into this game someday. I really like it so far.
