Niflheim's long been showered in both affection and ridicule for how angsty and theatrical it is (most prominently manifesting in its iconic text), but I really can't help but love how enthusiastically it pursues a creative and compelling idea - the spirit's journey to the pristine, misty afterlife unceremoniously running through a chilling industrial maze is reflected perfectly in sharp changes in visual clarity and difficulty, and it certainly doesn't hurt that vismuth's timelessly fun gameplay is as its most impactful here.
