What a masterful addition to an already perfect game!
Santa Monica really outdone themselves when they made this! I love roguelikes but most of the time I find myself stressing out because I know I'd be stressing out by replaying everything all over. However, the simplicity of Valhalla's structure really shows how much SM respects their players. Story is masterfully written, and a very much needed take on Kratos' feelings about his past, which is not very discussed in the main games!
Absolutely the best way to end 2023, which may go down as one of the best gaming years in history IMO ✨

Beautiful and inventive, a trippier Stanley's parable
It's beautiful. Love the new mechanics, badges are fun, maybe more than the powerups. However, there were some poor boss choices, levels didn't have enough cohesive identity, really couldn't feel the difference one from another, BUT animations and colors are on another level, I'm glad this new redesign could be a new standard for the series ☺️
