Solid game. As a first timer to the series, the story was extremely captivating and how it weaved classic norse mythology and replaced some of those elements. The game runs and looks beautiful and some of the sights are really amazing. The combat is nothing revolutionary but it's still pretty fun. One complaint I had tho was the rpg system which felt extremely tacked on and felt just like they put it there so they can say they had customisation. There are so many armours and weapons that are just inconsequential or have such minor stat increases for lots of in game currency. Also when you do get good armour, most of the game is over and the last part doesn't feel like too much of a challenge. Also the bosses were extremely low in number and from what Ive seen of the previous games, the bosses are a big big downgrade. The enemy variety itself is very low as well as its mostly the same humanoid size dead soldiers that are of different colours and sometimes can have different attacks.

The world itself is beautiful tho and is amazing to look at and I was surprised they had some of the nine realms there. The optional realms are not that great as they're just trial realms and some of the realms are really small while others are locked. I was imagining how cool it would be to have several bosses that only appear in that realm like massive fire giants in the realm of fire or dead ghouly creatures in the realm of hel.

Im really hyped for the sequel as it looks like it fixes some of these problems and this is a really cool base game that works pretty well and is fun. Other than a few mishaps, really well done and love that the whole game is shot in a single shot. Worth a play.
