Vikings: Wolves of Midgard

The looting, crafting and killing formula is one that has been done many times over and it is no less addictive in this title. This interpretation of Ragnarok and Norse mythology creates an interesting campaign setting that’s not often used in games, and the visual and sound design make this an engrossing title once the player gets past the tutorials. For fans of action RPGs, Vikings – Wolves of Midgard is a must play.

Vikings – Wolves of Midgard has a lot going for it. The gameplay is fun, frantic, and satisfyingly brutal. The underlying systems are all well thought-out, providing opportunities for unique experiences based on the classes you play, and the environmental dangers require you to think about your tactics more often than most games of this genre allow. If you can ignore the game’s middling narrative motivations, you are in for a very bloody good time.

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard takes a fair swing at the loot-heavy action RPG genre, but its middling gameplay fails to leave a lasting impression. Going up against the likes of the mighty Diablo III on PS4, its dull blade bounces off the competition, but Vikings is just competent enough to survive the scuffle and live another day.
