    Exactly the stuff that the horror genre desperately needs: gripping from beginning to end, with fresh enemy types and a varied gameplay.

    Apsulov: End of Gods is a worthy counterpart to other great Norse games of recent years. With only a small development team, it can't match the presentation of some of the games that inspired it, but it makes up for this with a distinctive character. Taking the ideas of Doom 3 and Dead Space and mixing them up with Norse mythology, this is a really interesting and enjoyable horror experience.

    Apsulov is a by-the-numbers walking simulator with pretty, mildly interactive environments, the annoyance of stealth sections and a 4-5 hours story. Be that as it may, we can’t deny that we've had a pleasant visit in the amalgamation of sci-fi laboratories with artifacts and environments inspired by Norse mythology.

    As a design doc, a game that combines horror, sci-fi and Norse mythology sounds intriguing but in actually, Apsulov just seems uncertain of its identity. With too much clunky action for a narrative driven walking simulator, and not enough combat to excel as an action game, it’s a lot of bits and pieces that don’t quite connect. The game has some ideas floating around but they’re too often drowned in a sea of over-used cliches, tired gaming tropes and creative cul de sacs that lead nowhere in particular.

The concept of the future and Norse Mythology was a welcomed change to what I'm sure many would compare to God of War. Sound and music were stellar to create an atmosphere that was scary and chilling. Graphics were also impressive for an indie title. Overall was a great experience.… Expand

    A short and enjoyable experience with a pretty intriguing storyline and some interesting gameplay mechanics. It's easy to like this game right from the very start. You wake up to a robot machine modifying your body and keeping you trapped in a dark room while you don't even remember where or who you are. The mystery immediately grabs your attention and slowly leads you to even more questions and eventually revelations throughout the game. It's nothing overly complex or genial, but it manages to keep things exciting.

    The gameplay mechanics are simple, but feel quite original in their own right and make traversing through the levels quite fun.

    It's not a scary game (although there are a few jumpscares), but it manages to create a pretty great atmosphere with a few creepy and awe-inspiring moments.

    The voice acting is... not very good. Except for the main villain which does a pretty good job.

    BAD

    The antialiasing options are horrible. It's probably TAA and you either play on low with jaggies and distracting shimmering all over the place or set it on high and get a blurry screen. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off.    … Expand

The plot is interesting, the soundtrack is pleasant. The graphics are at the level for such a project. Although the character animation is, of course, primitive.
