Early Access Review
All in all a really nicely done sort of Norse mythology action survival game. It has a really intuitive and quite charming building system, fully destructable landscape, procedural generation for infinite possibilities etc. Survival is simplified down to not taking damage from the wildlife, enemies, cold climates, falling trees... but this isn't meant to be uber realistic like DAYZ, nor is it a troll game like RUST (I love both of those titles btw) - you play the part of a dead warrior reborn in one of the mythical Norselands for a purpose that will become clear... and will probably involve a lot of warrioring.

But what really gets me is how coherent the whole package feels. It doesn't hold your hand which can be daunting but the way it is setup it just feels right, everything has a place and fits right in. As a result it's no where near as brutal as those 'realistic' survival games in fact as a singleplayer experience the progression and discovery really shine. Of course there is multiplayer too gonna have to check that out at some point.

Right now I'd say it's a solid 8.5/10

Very few bugs and glitches, a couple of random CTDs in 30 odd hrs ain't bad at all.
