    Rune 2 is an incomplete game and a sad end to the Human Head Studios story.

    Rune II lacks the imagination, experimentation and fleshed out mechanics that would have made stomping through the Viking end times a fun experience.

    Rune II is a massive disappointment. It's action is simple and the missions are boring, and repetitive. Even though there's an open world you can explore with plenty of freedom, you won't find any reason to do so.

    An unfinished game pitifully trying to conceal this fact by engaging in a time loop. There’s not a single element in this game than can be praised - your main motivation to finish Rune II will be the freedom to try another, better game.

    19 years in the making, Rune II comes as a massive disappointment to fans of the original.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. The entire game has only 1 quest, the quest never changes. Get artifact, deliver artifact, fight loki, repeat. I've repeated the quest 10+ times, and the only thing that changes is the number of artifacts you have to bring after finishing the quest. The battle is still the same, boss is buggy, gets easily stuck and you can cheese him with a bow if u get up on a rock.

    Same enemies from the first 30 minutes repeated throughout the entire game. Crafting is useless, outside of using it for leveling up. Hell you can't even sort recepies, it's all just cluttered and you have to dig around to see which one is better. Making runes is not worth it, gathering resources is useless as well. All weapons and armors are the same except for minor changes and some added glow. Inventory UI must be one of the worst ones I've ever seen in a game. There's no character panel where you see what you've equipped, it just stays in your inventory witih a tiny icon showing it's equipped.

    Game's filled with bugs - you can eat multiple foods at the same time to get full hp, attacking and blocking halfway through the animation doesn't use stamina, character gets stuck between stairs and walls so you have to suicide, etc...

    Not to meantion that after about 5 hours, you'll mute all game sounds, simply because Loki will keep throwing rocks at you randomly from the sky every 2-3 minutes repeating the same quote and annoying laugh over and over and over and over and over again.

    Won't bother mentioning optimizaiton, it's non-existant.

    Score of 1 for the effort of the art department.    … Full Review »

    Horrible broken mess. Instant refund on EGS.
    One of the worst games I've played this year.
