![]() Sadly, it’s evident that there’s a lack of quality control when it came to this game’s release day. ![]() These too can have buffs added to them such as elementals. The armor and weapon crafting are easy to learn and the weapons are really unique to create. You can also punch trees down with your bare hands too, which is actually pretty remarkable. You can destroy structures with your trusty blade and it really feels awesome to play as a Viking cutting down the house with ease. ![]() When it comes to building you basically just spam the E button but it’s not bad. There’s crafting mechanics for building structures, weapons, armor, and such. They give off a humming sound so that they get your attention whilst running through the wilderness so that you never miss them. Finding Rune II’s version of Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice’s “Lorestones” are cool because you get some lore tossed your way as well as a new crafting recipe. They helped in having something else to do between the sluggish story quests. You can find all kinds of different treasure chests with each one holding weapons, armor, runes, or other consumables. It’s a nice touch and they actually offered some verticality as well.įinding loot and lore around the world is fun to scavenge for and adds another layer to the actual environment. Another aspect rolled into the gameplay are little dungeons that you can fight through which may help you to get to a certain location quicker than running. I have to say that all of the menus are really easy to navigate and instructions are pretty clear. You’ll level up your character over the course of the game and can attach special attributes and skills to further develop your capabilities. I’m sure they’re expecting players to join up and enjoy this together but unfortunately, I could not find a game with folks who actually wanted to play nicely so I never got to experience this with others. You can choose a specific class that matches you to its Norse God and each has its own powers and weakness to further the gameplay loop. The runes are really cool as they actually give your character buffs or powers for a limited amount of time. As far as the items go for which you can craft, it’s all the regular RPG type of thing that we’ve seen done to death but it’s enough I guess. There’s a wheel that acts as a hot bar where you can put weapons, runes, food, and so on. This is the type of content that made the original so cool and I’m glad that they did it justice. Those chopped-off limbs can also be used as weapons to bash their comrades’ skulls in too if you so choose it. It’s pretty refined and it only gets better when you chop off an enemy’s ligaments. ![]() Enemies can be staggered or parried to get your haymakers in as well. Blocking can be done no matter what weapon you’re using and it’s best to watch your oppenant’s movements to figure out how to strike. You can use two-handed weapons to really tear through your enemies or use a shield and mace to play a little bit of cat and mouse. I always remember the original Rune being very fluid in its gameplay as well so it’s fantastic that it’s enhanced even further. It’s extremely fluid and I honestly can’t remember a title that I had this much fun with combat-wise in a long time. The combat is pretty good and was admittedly my favorite aspect. Your main activity that’s going to take up most of your time with the title is combat. You’re tossed in an open world where you can fight, craft, and explore, searching for the best loot along your journey to kill Loki. ![]()
