A cinematic, emotional father-and-son Norse adventure with gorgeous visuals and a weighty axe. Skip it if you want the fast, over-the-top combat of the old games or dislike repetitive enemies.
Great for
Story-driven action fans who like cinematic presentation, father-son drama and weighty axe combat
Main risk
Repetitive combat, reskinned bosses and backtracking can make the gameplay feel like a slog
