Oh that’s good timing. I beat both in the last three weeks.
Mulaka is the better game, especially if you’re looking for a Zelda-like. Rime plays a bit more like Journey: it’s there to tell a story and to provoke some emotional responses; deep gameplay is secondary.
Mulaka, for all its warts, is more engaging and challenging. Movement is a little stiff and it can get repetitive, but boss battles are great and the animal transformation spice things up. You can channel the spirit of a bear, a snake, a cougar, and a bird.
Neither game is great, mind you. I’d say Mulaka is decent and Rime is mediocre.
