From the makers of Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC: Devil May Cry, comes a warrior’s brutal journey into myth and madness. Set in the Viking age, a broken Celtic warrior embarks on a haunting vision quest into Viking Hell to fight for the soul of her dead lover.
Overall, a nice game. I tend to enjoy shorter, linear games over giant, open worlds so this was right up my alley. It is a decent puzzler with some meh combat to boot. Visuals are great, audio superb (use headphones!), and mildly challenging gameplay. I say meh combat because you really don’t do all that damage unless you have a “super” active, so it feels very much like your main weapons are paper until said super is ready.
It isn’t really an achievement hunting game, you’re mostly there for the psychosis-focused narrative and occasional boss battle. I definitely enjoyed this far more than Assassin’s Creed <insert title>, but not quite as much Alien: Isolation.
For this price, I’d say worth a play. My play through was on Gamepass, so based on the number of games I play a month (2-3 all the way through), this is about the price I “paid”.
Edit: I did start an original play through on PC at launch, but never finished due to university finals. I recently (6-ish months ago) saw it was on Gamepass so gave it another go.
I’ve played it! So player count >= 1.
