Small Saga
With over 25 hours logged by nearly a third of players, *Small Saga* thrives on its emotional depth and concise storytelling—yet its brevity is both its charm and its limitation. Nearly every mention of the game’s narrative or artistry is glowing, but a handful of technical hiccups and price sensitivity linger beneath the overwhelming acclaim.
What it's about: Beneath the streets of London, an angry mouse seeks revenge against the god who stole his tail. An epic RPG of miniature proportions!
