The announcement of Hela is out there to show us a weird adventure that some mice will go on in this weird world of Hela
Gamers sure do like playing as anthropomorphic animals in their video games and we have one more entry into the list with Hela getting that announcement. A new title on the way from Windup and Knights Peak for the PC that lets us all play as a mouse. A bit different than all of the cat video games we have had and the coming dog ones, only this one leans more into the Scandinavian side of things instead of the meme things. As long as Hela keeps to the witchy aspects of stuff and keeps the fun platforming to a fun and charming side of things. Maybe with the listing of Cozy on it, we will have that and a solid story. Let us take a look at what was announced to see if that will all be the case.
In Hela, it looks like we are taking to the Scandinavian countryside of things as a brave little mouse with a magical backpack. It seems our beloved witch needs our help and we need to venture out into the wilderness to go solve some puzzles, glide around the world, and have some weird tentacle slither out of the backpack to aid with some of the traversal. A weird thing indeed, but Hela does look as if it will be allowing us to play with some friends along the way to help out with some of the more complex jumping and swinging out there. Not the traditional thought one would have when it comes to the main description of it all, but still one that does look like it can add some whimsy into our lives instead of the usual horror we have to deal with every day.

Is this the kind of game you were expecting given the description of Hela or is it a nice surprise to it all? Is it odd that we are playing as mice instead of any of the other traditional witch familiars that the media has crammed down our eyeholes? Does this feel like a true cozy game or will some of it be more intense than the genre is normally known for out there? Scurry down to the comments to let the world know those thoughts and then feel free to discuss it all. There is going to be more for Hela, for sure, so please keep on checking back for all of those updates and then many others that are still on the way out there.
