    Fimbul has a great story told through comic-book style cut-scenes. The story is set in Norse mythology in the final winter before Ragnarok: Fimbul. We follow Kveluldver on his trip to Jötunheim.

    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 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.    … Expand

    Although Fimbul has a great universe to explore and some fun gameplay elements, it still fails as a package. The gameplay is good but short, the story is not so appealing, combat is repetitive and the game suffers from tons of technical issues, and the only ones who will probably enjoy Fimbul are the hardcore fans of Scandinavian myths.

    There's a great deal to like about Fimbul, from its luxuriant vector inspired visuals to the solid combat and an interesting interpretation of Norse Mythology. Whilst the delivery of the plot in a comic book format disappoints, it is the failure of the frame rate that provides Fimbul's fatal and final blow. Without this issue being remedied, despite the many reasons I like the game, Fimbul is difficult to recommend.

    A nice looking adventure, Fimbul is ultimately a bit of a hollow and forgettable experience.
