Will: Follow the Light Wins on Atmosphere, Falters on Fussy Puzzles and Bugs

UE5 lighting delivers the standout appeal in stark Arctic vistas.

Overview

  • The debut from TomorrowHead Studio is a first-person journey where a lighthouse keeper searches across Arctic seas and glaciers for his family.
  • Reviewers highlight sailing as the best part, with hands-on rope and sail controls that give the boat a convincing sense of weight.
  • Both outlets point to puzzle design that leans on menial, multi-step chores that slow progress and blunt the sense of drive.
  • Reported rough edges include mismatched subtitles, confusing autosaves and checkpoints, and bugs that can block objectives until a reload.
  • Visuals draw praise for Unreal Engine 5 lighting and varied setpieces from foggy towns to dog-sled runs, though one review says the story leaves little afterglow.
