Started to play this tonight (Series X) and I’m liking the story but the gameplay isn’t great? Again the puzzles can be obtuse but they keep being repeated which is getting a tad annoying. The fighting is ok but I don’t think the gameplay is this games strongest part.
Currently at the Trials of Odin section, I’ll keep pressing on as I don’t think it’s an overly long game so I’ll see if maybe it clicks for me further in
The story is definitely the strongest aspect, the almost constant rune puzzles do get a little tiring (especially with how exact you have to be for some of them to unlock) and the combat is solid but nothing special. I’m definitely going to replay this before the second game comes out, looking forward to using my headset for this as people always recommend to play it using headphones to get the full effect. Not loaded it up since the update but it was a very good looking game beforehand so not sure where it’ll look better really!
