![]() ![]() The voice talent was very well done and it was really great to have it not be English with some vaguely European accent, like many games do. ![]() The only real complaint I have about the game is that the controls didn’t feel as tight as I would like them to be for such a difficult experience. It is only about 4-5 hours long, and most of that is the 6 boss fights. The game itself is still a wonderful and tight experience. That being said, the mode does still work so I won’t knock it for being something that I didn’t need. Surfing, Viking style, while Jörmungandr looks on. It would not feel out of place in the Poetic Edda(a copy of which I have on my bookshelf). Not just in the fact that it could have happened in a world where Norse mythology was true, but especially in that how it’s told fits in very well with the other stories we have from that world. Almost more importantly, however, is that it also felt very accurate in its portrayal. They did a really good job with it, and it definitely rattled me emotionally. Because the story is pared down to its very basic elements with little exposition, it is even more important to have a solid foundation. Instead of sitting back in a mead hall served by the Valkyrie, she is spending her afterlife fighting even more difficult battles than she fought in life. Not quite the Valhalla you may expect after dying as a Viking warrior. She has been tasked with proving herself before them in order to get a chance to enact her revenge upon those who have wronged her. And that forms the reason why she is combating all the Norse gods. It’s not a spoiler to say that she dies, because that is the very opening of the game. The short story sequences after every boss are quite satisfying. ![]()
