The first thing that really caught my attention in NORSE: Oath of Blood was the cutscenes. They immediately pulled me into the game, and from there, the story itself kept me hooked. Everything feels very well made and structured, from the storytelling and characters to the way the world and missions are put together.

I also really enjoyed the base building and management. At the beginning, it is definitely worth spending some time farming and developing your soldiers. Once you get them stronger and start getting better equipment, the battles become a little easier and much more enjoyable.

Speaking of equipment, the items and rewards you can find through the side missions are another thing I really liked. Exploring the optional content actually feels rewarding, and it gives you good reasons to take your time instead of rushing only through the main story.

The tactical combat is satisfying, the Viking atmosphere is great, and I really enjoyed how all the different systems come together. Nothing feels completely out of place, and the game does a great job of keeping you interested from one mission to the next.

Of course, there are a few things that could still be improved and polished, but honestly, they didn't take away from my overall experience.

For me, NORSE: Oath of Blood is a very well-made game with a great story, beautiful cutscenes, enjoyable tactical combat, base building, progression and plenty of things to discover.

Highly recommended! 10++ from me. 🛡️⚔️

If you enjoy Viking games, tactical RPGs and story-driven adventures, definitely give this one a try!

After finishing Metro 2033 Redux, I couldn't wait to continue Artyom's story in Metro: Last Light Redux. I also read Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro novels, so experiencing the games after reading the books made the world feel even more immersive.

What I love most about this series is the atmosphere. The Metro is dark, mysterious, and constantly keeps you on edge. Every station has its own personality, and even after many hours I still found myself slowing down just to take in the environment and listen to the conversations around me.

Last Light improves almost everything from Metro 2033. The gunplay feels better, stealth is more enjoyable, weapon customization adds more depth, and the story does a great job expanding the world without losing the feeling of isolation and survival.

I also appreciate that the game doesn't rely only on action. Some of my favorite moments were simply exploring the tunnels, discovering small details, and seeing how people try to survive in such a harsh world.

Even today, the Redux version looks fantastic. The lighting, sound design, and overall atmosphere still compete with many modern games.

Now I've completed both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux, and I can honestly say this has become one of my favorite game series. I can't wait to continue with Metro Exodus.

If you enjoy story-driven games with incredible world-building and atmosphere, don't skip this one. It's absolutely worth your time.
