    Combat is quite slow and unrensponsive at times, the einherjar system was simply "not enough", in the sense that they needed to add more depth to it. Story is quite shallow and side quests didn't help it. But, on the other hand, the storytelling is quite good and "unique" in a sense. I liked it. Level design is what you expect from this type of game.

    Oyuna karşı olan nefreti anlayamadım.
    Kısa, çizgisel ve sinematikleri seslendirmeli olan AA bir oyun.
    İncelemelerde God of War ile kıyaslayanlar, dövüş mekaniklerinin tekrar ettiğini söyleyenler var. Oyunda büyülerin yanı sıra her silahın(toplam 8 farklı silah) kendine ait comboları var, oyun zaten 10 saat kadar sürüyor, dövüş mekaniğinden sıkılamadan oyun bitiyor zaten :) God of War    Oyuna karşı olan nefreti anlayamadım.

    Valkyrie Elysium could have been something great, with its excellent narrative backdrop built on the basis of Norse mythology. As per usual with Square Enix titles, the art direction and soundtrack are outstanding and leave me wanting more. The fast, fluid, and satisfying combat system is what carries an otherwise mediocre title bogged down by washed out visuals and uninspired level design.

    Valkyrie Elysium has excellent combat and music, but is let down by its story. The PC version is good and it runs well on Steam Deck barring one issue which I hope will be addressed soon. Hopefully Square Enix continues to support this release and doesn't give up on the Valkyrie series going forward because there is a lot of potential here for future DLC or sequels.
