Viking: Battle for Asgard

The game is fine, till you get stuck after the Darkwater battle, so everything goes to hel and is time to test your patience... at leat is not crashing, unless you're using Nvidia. So AMD at least makes it "playable". Just backup your autosave from time to time. Pros: *Decent graphics *NIce mechanics since you can learn several skills to make some variations. *Cool norse mythology story. Cons: *The optimizations is a disaster. Needs a remaster or something. *probably a lack on enemy variations. - I've changed my mind and I can't recommend this not matter how much I like this game, because for some people it may be too buggy and completely unplayable, which is too sad. So try it or not, is on you.

TL;DR: An underrated gem from my Xbox 360 days, but a sh!t PC port. Not worth at full price. Previously played on Xbox 360. Unlike the console release, this port is atrocious AF! So many issue that it really needs to be updated by Hardlight or have modders patching the sh!t out of it. Summary: You play as Skarin in the Command of Freya, Goddess of War to stop Hela (NO! Not from F@#K!NG MARVEL, YOU CHILDREN!) from unleashing Ragnarok. Spoiler alert, Skarin ended up being betrayed by Freya because his wish to be in Valhalla was not granted. Gameplay: It's an action adventure game and a successor to Creative Assembly Spartan: Total Warrior from the old console. If you played that game, well it's kind of like that. A High-scale epic battle. You need to freed you fellow warriors from being held captive by Hela forces and freed them. Once you freed everyone, the WAR IS ON! Which took your Framerate f@#k!n harder. Pros: While a solid game, it features a large open world of Midgard, where you can freely explore it from doing quest to fighting enemies. The moveset is much more brutal and the upgrades are okay. Cons: Sheesh! A lot! So much that if you get this game on console, f@#k!n stay there! Don't go to PC. Doesn't matter if you have a high-end RTX 5090 or some sh!t, it's just a f@#k!n mess. Let me break it down a few issues I (and many) have suffered): - Some traversal area can be confusing to access through. Like, you have to go to this large f@#k!n building just to retrieve an item to call your dragon. The reason why Yellowpaint exist, because it took me memory back that the vines are interactable. F@#k!n hell! - Skarin moves f@#k!n slow. So, if you wanna get to A-to-B, you need to get used to how he runs. This also one of the things that took me memories back. - When in an open battle, your framerate tanked so f@#k!n hard, that you can't play the game through sh!t! You'll get 16FPS and that's it! Deal with it! - In-addition, if you get overwhelmed so much in the Open Battle, the game will crash. It did for me 3 times. - The PC port is capped at an unstable 30FPS. Which means, your performance means f@#k all! Either use Loseless Scalling or DXVK from doitsujin/DXVK Sarek if your hardware aren't capable. - There's a slight input delay when using both Keyboard & Wireless controller, so for gamepad, I recommend choose a Wired gamepad instead. Reason why is, while playing with Wireless controller, if your gamepad disconnect on it's own, you need to restart the game! Otherwise, it won't respond. - Graphical feature is limited in the Config Launcher, so you're just gonna have to deal with it. - Games has problems running on Windows 11. I have my friend tested this on his PC and there needs to be a few tweaks to get it running. Some find it helpful, others...not so much. This was a careless port from SEGA, which is a shame. VERDICT: I'm not saying Viking is a bad game. I enjoyed it on my Xbox 360 days. But good god! This PC port is f@#k!n awful! I only realizes this port exist is from a YouTuber name Camp Xbox. His vid, suddenly refresh my memory. After I saw the game exist on PC, I quickly get it on sale! But to my surprised, this Port...is a f@#k!n mess and I feel like it's not the same game I played from the Xbox 360. My advice if you REALLY want to get it ON STEAM, Get it on SALE instead. Don't buy it on f@#k!n full price. Start getting used to it. If you're those people that can't stand 30FPS, well...this game is probably not for you, you sick f@#k. If you still have the game on console, doesn't matter if it's Xbox 360 or PS3, STAY THERE! As for Emulation like RPCS3 (and likely Xenia), it's...not good. Basically, a friend of mine tried it and that the Text are gone and the game constantly froze after reaching the next location. So...not worth it. Play it on the System (if you still have one). Who knows, maybe Xbox Scarlet will re-open the Compatibility bullsh!t in the future. 6.5/10 To Modders: Guys, we need you! Whoever you are! Sergey P./ThirteenAG/FusionFix, Silent/CookieMonsterPL....SOMEBODY! ANYBODY!

Casual solo fun. Hack down Fel Warriors with weapons to fuel magic attacks, assault strongholds to recover kinsmen, and call on them to form armies to attack greater strongholds.

great game and fantastic starting point if your looking to get into achievement hunting and 100% single player game's.

I really enjoyed this game. It's very basic but has some very satisfying combat and war moments. It's not without issues, it is repetitive, the audio is too quite, combat is missing that much needed sound "impact" and the most glaring issues of all is the 30fps lock. There is no way around this at the time of this review. I ended up using the Cheat Engine tweak (noted in the discussions) and set the speedhack to 1.2. This does NOT make it 60fps but it definitely makes the game play feel smoother and not so sluggish. Ran fine on Windows 11 but I did have a couple of crashes straight to desktop,no progress was lost, this game autosaves very often. During this current time of terrible AAA gaming it has been a treat to step back in time and play some of the old PS2\PS3 games that I would have normally passed on. If you are looking for a straight forward hack and slash game you can't go wrong with this on a sale.

The Viking answer to Dynasty Warrior and it sort of looks like Fable. lol its good fun and deserves a full remake!

Stürzt während der ersten Mission immer wieder ab, egal was man macht, egal welcher Vorschlag des Internets man ausführt, immer wieder das gleiche Resultat, also obwohl es mein absolutes lieblings Gamegenre ist, bekommt es eine ganz fette negative Bewertung. Wenn kein Spiel spielbar ist, kann es auch nicht positiv bewertet werden..

MIGLIOR GIOCO DEL MONDO
