As Runic game, I expected Hob to be a great game, but it still supprised me and became one of my favorite games this year.
It achieved this because of the following trades:

• It generates a great, unique atmosphere by using no language at all.
  
• A great combat system, which is very fun, even though enemies are not challenging.
  
• Puzzles reach from simple but fun to tricky but fair.
  
• A beautiful and vivid world that you want to explore and save.

It is an awesome game which I can hartly recommend everyone who enjoys action advanture games.
