Well that was a Yuletide Joyride!

Possibly my favorite quote ever - "Then let's go and be terrible." This is now my mantra!

Brom has created complex characters, showing different sides of the story, and making Krampus not the villain or hero you would expect him to be. I truly enjoyed the two sides of a coin approach to the legendary figures, making neither completely good or bad. I enjoyed how Jesse grew as a character, trying his hardest to get to his kid and almost-ex wife and get them to safety. The mix of his plotline and goals twisting in with Krampus's made this a fun adventure!

While I’m overjoyed of all the lore and traditions that Brom added into this story, I’m deeply saddened that once again, Perchta has been a footnote in the story. I’m glad she made an appearance, and the details of her agelessness, however, she is legendary in her own right.
