GodisaGeek: "stillalive Studios is a development team based in Austria and they’ve just launched their Kickstarter campaign for their debut PC, Mac and Linux title: Son of Nor. The game is a third person action game where a reptilian race known as the Sarahul are looking to take down the entirety of human civilisation. But guess what? You are mankind’s final hope, my friend.
In a desert setting, players will have a number of abilities to take down their foes and solve puzzles, too. These include telekinesis, terraforming and performing magical spells. Gamers have the option to play on their own, with three other people online, or two player local multiplayer in Son of Nor."
GG:
Making games is hard - there’s no disputing that. Sometimes no matter how much passion and creativity the developers have, the final product just doesn't come together. Son of Nor, a third-person action RPG from stillalive studios, is one of these games. There are good ideas to be found, but ultimately the game is held back by poor execution and a lack of polish.
Offers little besides fun telekinetic destruction and gimmicky peripherals compatibility, but handles both very well.

Son of Nor is an interesting Indie that originated from Kickstarter and recently found itself in full release after being in Early Access on Steam for some time. Players will find themselves part of a Human Tribe that has been secluded for more than four centuries. After having lived alone and in peace for so long, the tribe members now find themselves once again thrust into conflict by a race that would subjugate or eliminate them. Armed with magical abilities to manipulate anything related to the element of Earth, the player sets out on their adventure.
