10 Breathtaking Video Game Moments We'll NEVER Forget
2. "Den Blomsterid nu Kommer" - Bramble: The Mountain King
Can a thing be desperately beautiful and downright terrifying at the same time? Yes, it can, and Bramble: The Mountain King is proof of that. You see, most of this game will have you cowering in fear. However, one scene is so hauntingly beautiful that you'll wet your eyes rather than your pants.
Bramble has you playing as a young boy (Olle) as he encounters Scandinavian mythological creatures on a quest to find his sister. He comes close to perishing at one point at the hands of a troll but is saved by daybreak as the sun's light turns it into stone.
Thus begins Bramble's most enchanting sequence.
As Olle frees himself from the petrified troll, he steps into a well-lit meadow of beautiful grass, daisies, and animals. This pretty picture is accompanied by the song "Den Blomsterid nu Kommer," sung wonderfully by Bjoern.
This chance to frolic in nature gives you a blissful sense of nostalgia. That feeling of sitting in a field, with the grass on your skin and the wind in your hair. It's a spectacular respite from the fear you'll experience in almost every other segment.
