    Overall, Fimbul is a mess. I wanted to like it due to its use of Norse mythology as it truly felt like a journey to Jotunheim, not just an action game with some Norse stuff thrown in but with combat that never felt satisfying, an annoying uncontrollable camera, a handful of glitches, and gameplay that I definitely don't want to dive back into, it's a hard game to recommend to anyone.

    Though the setting is evocative, the poor combat, raft of bugs and meagre duration all conspire to ensure that Fimbul fumbles its setting and results in disappointingly poor roaming brawler.

    The hack and slash type combat is interesting and challenging, but unfortunately it is made difficult by frequent frame-rate drops especially in the second and third act. The ground bash attack should be patched so it does not cause framerate drops, this will make the Jöton fights much more enjoyable. Honestly this should have been caught during regular QA and fixed in a launch-day patch.

    Still I think the game is worth the price if you like the art-style and am interested in the theme.    … Full Review »
