Review: Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story
When I saw the first trailer for Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story, I immediately wanted to learn more. Every Riot Forge title so far has expanded on the already incredible IP of League of Legends and the world of Runeterra. And based on the trailer, it looked like Song of Nunu would be one of the most lore-rich titles from Riot Forge yet. I’m happy to say that I wasn’t wrong.
Throughout my journey as Nunu, I had fought off evil wolves with Braum, commanded Krugs with Nunu’s flute called the Svellsongur, and even forged a cauldron with the help of the legendary blacksmith Ornn. Song of Nunu was a pleasantly enjoyable voyage through the Freljord. And while it had its flaws, at the end of the roughly ten-hour adventure I was happy to have experienced it. Developer Tequila Works tells superb character-focused stories, and Song of Nunu may be the studio’s best tale yet. While it may not be its most hard-hitting, it still manages to tell an impactful and immersive narrative in Runeterra.
