My favorite game of all time

I played this for the first time as a kid in the 90s, and now I'm 32 and this has always been my favorite game of all time since I first time touched it. It was just magical as a kid, and no game scares the shit out of me more than this one. Just so phenomenally good. This is the best game ever made alongside Overwatch. And that's a good achievement, and I have played thousands of games. Just the perfect game that developers today should take as an example of how to make a game.

Deeply Disappointing & Poorly Aged

I'm so in love with the whole viking premise, but this game truly fails to deliver. Norse mythology seems like a perfect source of inspiration for a dark, moody and brutal action adventure game. But the technical issues and janky gameplay are too much to look past. For me, the game is borderline unplayable because it is too dark and the brightness slider does not function whatsoever. The combat is clunky, frustrating and underdeveloped. Platforming can feel slippery and stressful becuase the player character moves so fast. The game technically supports modern widescreen resolutions, such as 1920x1080, however it will result in a portion of the screen getting cut off. I only have so much free time nowadays, and Rune simply isn't worth it.

Multiplayer

Seriously, you can kill an opponent with their own arm. This game has some of the most fun multiplayer i've ever played.
