Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
WEAKLY recommended - it offers an extremely tame and stale telling of an extremely watered down Norse mythos original story that some casual players might enjoy.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I also loved the art style in general, but the art pieces that came up during combat were especially appealing.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The progression of the story was evenly paced, and there were a few side missions and puzzles I did, I'm pretty sure I did all of them so 5.5/6 hours is the time to beat.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
With difficult decisions ahead and a deep narrative, this norse-mythology inspired game will keep you engaged with its delectable soundtrack and unique visual style.
