The battle is still the same, boss is buggy, gets easily stuck and you can cheese him with a bow if u get up on a rock. I've repeated the quest 10+ times, and the only thing that changes is the number of artifacts you have to bring after finishing the quest. Get artifact, deliver artifact, fight loki, repeat. The entire game has only 1 quest, the quest never changes. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No missions, no story, no real crafting, no interesting items like in Diablo oder Skyrim, no different fighting styles, no NPCs, just stupid collecting of resources. 13) Let me repeat: The whole game concept is 'Find the ingredients to forge a Loki-Sword'. I think in reality, only a few people from the previous game sat next to it as level design interns thrown islands together in the Unreal engine. Allegedly it was created by industry veterans. 12) Just like Underworld Ascendant, this game is not a real game, but an unfinished product without working gameplay. 11) The game has absolutely nothing to do with Rune 1, except that you play a Viking in third person. 10) It's also fitting that one day after the release Human Head Studios went broke and was bought by Bethesda and is now called Roundhouse Studiost.

The current sold version has the version number 0.0.12, which looks suspicious.

9) The whole game looks unfinished and like an Early Access. Furthermore, enemies and stones float around in the air, you get stuck at corners etc. So this has nothing to do with the graphics itself, which by the way is on the level of 2011, but with bad optimization. 8) Technically the game is a disaster: I have a very fast computer and even in the lowest settings it lags again and again, which can be fatal in fights. The developers had promised thousands of variations of weapons and armor that you can modify differently, etc. Only the sword to kill Loki is an upgrade. Till the end I used the sword I got at the very beginning of the game (Warrior Sword). 7) As far as crafting is concerned: you can't forge anything special that you don't already own. you can look forward to a lot of wasted travelling time. Nothing happens on the water itself, i.e. Size is faked here by the extensive water masses between the islands. 6) The land mass of the game world is very small for a supposed Open World game: If you put all the islands together, you might get 1 to 1.5 square kilometers. 5) The game is absolutely unbalanced: The enemies don't seem tolevel with your level, so after a few levels, each enemy is dead is one strike. The stupidest enemies I've seen since Underworld Ascendant. They fight all the same, and the AI has the IQ of a rune. 4) The game world is absolutely lifeless, apart from the really boring opponents. If the game developers call 'random collecting' fun, then they're in the wrong genre and should go bottle collecting.

As an example: I had to invest three hours just to find one drop of blood from a suitable giant. So you have to search the same islands for hours and hours, in new iterations which the game calls 'ages'. And if you find them, they don't always give blood when you kill them. But these giants are very rare to find and they are distributed by chance. 3) To forge this sword you need certain ingredients, of which only two are hard to find: 20 times frost giant blood and 20 times fire giant blood. You will realize this fact only by not being able to kill Loki with conventional weapons in one of the dozens of fights. 2) To defeat Loki, you have to forge a sword. But you can earn experience points if you kill X enemies of type Y or pick up 20 mushrooms. 2) Consequently there are no missions, you just have to defeat Loki. But you can earn experience points if you kill X enemies of type Y or pick up I paid 25 € for this creation, but if I had known beforehand what unprofessional, unfinished mess I was presented with, I wouldn't even have played this 'games' if it was for free: 1) There is actually no story, you just have to defeat Loki.
