Lovely game!

The story is simple, but heartfelt. The storytelling has such a metal vibe, and it really sells the dramatic and triumphant moments. I really liked all the little storylines along the way, too. The whole party has some fun dynamics.

The art style is great. It feels inspired by old-school RPGs. There is a ton of 2D art, with a lot of 3D elements. The style and color palette are bleak and dark, but there’s still some striking imagery.

The world has a lot of cool details that make it feel more alive. In the hours I spent in these animal cities, I felt like I was slowly getting to know the citizens. There is a pretty good amount of dialogue in this game, there’s just so many scenarios where different characters react to events. Murida especially is a weirdly comforting dystopia. I liked interacting with the different characters, and seeing what small side quests would pop up.

Speaking of quests, there appears to be no quest markers or journal. There’s really no HUD at all outside of combat. There isn’t even a map. This is cool most of the time, as the different levels are distinct and memorable which makes navigating easy. Not having a journal/ quest log did make it a little tough at times, especially if I took a break from playing. Two times I had to reference a let’s play because I just didn’t know where to go or what to do.

Definitely worth looking in to if you want an RPG with a metal rat aesthetic.

This is a really fun game to just turn your brain off and cause some chaos. I was resistant to the flying squirrel suit at first but it’s sooo fun. I was just flying around for minutes at a time because it was so satisfying. I set the record for continuous flying session by accident because I loved it so much. That says a LOT about me.

The game is really beautiful and it’s just so much fun to play. It runs well on the steam deck too which is great.

The only things I liked better about JC2 are the map and the ability to spawn vehicles whenever you want. Everything else is an upgrade in my opinion. I even liked the campaign better in JC3.

Dang, I gotta play this game again it’s a lot of fun.

This review contains spoilers

The storytelling is really good. The initial premise is simple: a father and a son travel up a dangerous mountain to scatter the mother’s ashes at its peak, but things get complicated when a mysterious stranger shows up at Kratos’ door and beats the heck out of him. This happens in the first fifteen minutes of the game, and it immediately hooked me. The way that the characters and game withhold information from the player makes everything so intriguing. One of the reasons I love Mimir is because he’s one of the few people who can explain what is going on. Every tidbit of information I learned felt like I was one step closer to understanding what is going on; why is this man after me and my son?

The gameplay is pretty fun. It’s smooth responsive, and relatively simple. I played on easy mode, and it is not really challenging at all (which is not a problem at all for me). I liked the Leviathan Axe, but for some reason the Blades of Chaos didn’t really click for me. Even though it’s the classic GoW weapon, I just kept returning to the axe.

I really didn’t like the crafting and buying system, and I kinda just barely crafted or bought things until the very end of the game. I just felt like I was always looting better equipment than I could craft/buy.

I thought most of the puzzles were great. They usually took like 45 seconds for me to figure out most of them, and if one took me a few minutes I’d just skip it because there are so many and I’ll find another one in a few minutes. I really liked this. I could attempt every puzzle and not care if I couldn’t get it because there are two more puzzles in the next room. Not every single one gelled with me, but most of the really tough ones were skippable. I’m sure a smarter person than me would’ve gotten more of them.

Every single actor/actress gave amazing performances. The people who play Kratos and Freya especially do such a great job portraying overbearing god-parents. Kratos’ transformation as a father is so drastic yet believable. Freya’s screams as she holds her dead son are haunting. Shoutout to Mimir too, for being the much needed comic relief.

I beat this game in about 30 hours. I attempted most puzzles, did all the dwarves’ favors, and did a bunch of other favors. The 20-28 hour range really dragged for me, but the story’s climax and payoff were completely worth it. All the revelations at the end were so meaningful because I’ve spent so much time and effort making it this far.

In all, this was a fantastic game. The story is the strongest aspect, but the gameplay is really fun and it all works together. Hopefully Ragnarok comes to PlayStation Plus at some point. I’ll definitely play it.
