Expeditions: Viking

Incredible. I cant wait to see what they make next

Isometric RPG that lets you play in the spectrum of a pillaging viking that murders everyone or a pacifist that spares mostly everyone. Combat is hex turn based similar to XCOM. Length is about 30 hrs completing most of the content, and at that point it was beginning to overstay its welcome so I think they really hit the sweet spot. The story is enjoyable, there's a lot of norse aesthetics and lore, every character is named according to their culture, in my experience it was a well made game. The only bug I experienced was during chokepoint fights in fortresses where a dead hex would become unusable, but nothing game breaking.

It's an OK game. The best way to describe it is Wasteland 2 style RPG mechanics with Battle Brothers combat. The combat is poorly tuned, and the exploration mechanics are tedious and don't impact the rest of the game much. The writing and quest decisions are pretty good, though.

This game has one of the most memorable soundtracks of all the games I played. Can recommend!

Good overall strategy game with lots of options.

not good as rome but it has good roleplaying elements and romance options skill system is simple could be better realistic story in the viking era there are couple ways you can take in the story like being a merchant or a raider loved the game since i like history and viking era

I enjoy when games feel like the people making them were interested in what served as the games thematic inspiration.
