The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want slow, unsettling horror and a remote landscape to get lost in.: Draugen builds dread from quiet fjords, Norse-tinged folklore, and the sense that something is watching from the mist. Tradeoff: Its deliberate, low-intensity pace rewards patience and leaves little room for fast thrills.
