After more than 70 hours and unlocking every single achievement, I can confidently say this game delivers relentless combat, meaningful progression, and exceptional replayability without ever overstaying its welcome.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
a very chill and beautiful game. i really love the visuals and the atmosphere, and i could kill for those sfx. i personally could use a little more difficulty, the game basically became complicated only at helheim insane, but other than that, it's a great player experience. oh and quite well optimized, with my budget gear setup stable 60 fps everywhere except the helheim swarms when you're lvl 35 with 2939 god and class skills.

- > an option to increase only the menues or a little more contrast on the writing would be lovely.
