Viking: Battle for Asgard is beautiful as far as offering a hurricane of blood and gore can be beautiful, but it's easy to get bogged down in the repetitive combat. Sword Runes that imbue your weapons with magical energy mix things up a little, but really only serve to add cool particle effects to the butchery. There is fun to be had here, but you're going to have to meet Viking half-way if you really want to get the most out of it.
Twinfinite Writes: God of War takes Kratos from the pantheon of Greek mythology to the cold lands of Norse mythology. Here are a few other games with a focus on Norse myth, if you find your interest piqued.
It's high time we get another Valkyrie Profile. I'm so ready. I can't believe we've had to wait this long and we just got a mobile game...
Can we please just get another Age of Mythology? Lost many hours of my childhood to that game!
