Dec. 2024

I really really like this game. It's sort of sadistic but not in a negative way, you can set your limits and savescum if you really object to the way something turned out but if you let it the game will give you a bounty of narratively meaningful/character defining nasty little surprises in addition to the rng survival surprises which all add up to a deep sense of satisfaction if you're able to overcome them and build a (mostly) stable community in this hostile world. Even when you aren't able to overcome them there's usually (at least for me, I might just be weird) value in accepting some of its seemingly random/unfair outcomes because they add that bite and viciousness to the game that makes whatever payoff you reach hit harder. Having poked around the forums a bit it seems like at launch the game was significantly more brutal and random and openly unfair in certain instances but with player feedback they toned down many things and outright removed certain run-ending mechanics that weren't telegraphed very clearly so I feel like my assessment that the game is trying to be harsh but still fun is relatively accurate and that it isn't just fucking with you for no reason. Having said all that, the dog dlc can absolutely snap the game balance in half if you invest enough resources into him (and he's fucking adorable and adds a little to the narrative so why wouldn't you) so big recommend if I've made it sound too daunting and big recommend the "Norse side stories" dlc so that the optional characters will talk to each other at night instead of only the core family, having played the game with and without it makes a massive improvement to the feeling that you're building a village and providing stability for people and the writing is pretty universally excellent. The game isn't really something you can get a sense of whether you will or won't like it within steam's refund window so if you're unsure after reading this maybe wait for a sale.

Cautious recommendation. Nice story and characters, interesting encounters and puzzles. RNG is a bitch though. 2h of playing it is suifficient to decide whether to go on, or refund.

Aug. 2024

On sale? Definitely get it. Otherwise, no. I can see what other reviewers meant by the dialogue; that and the art often feel amateur at worst and just rough draft version at best. I enjoyed Dead in Bermuda less than this, I'll give it that, and I enjoyed Banner Saga more; this is essentially a blend of the two. It really needs another pass from an experienced dialogue editor and character artist.

The tactical combat portion of the game is pretty dull, but don’t fool yourself, in reality this is mainly a management game, and a very good at that. Manage resources, relationships and character stats, and while doing it, solve a mystery involving the norse gods and find a way to beat a bully. If in doubt play dead in bermuda demo from the save developer, it’s the same recipe.

May 2024

I like it, but I like games that have elements of randomness in them. While knowledge and skill can minimize the elements of chance in this game, the chance will always be there. If you don't mind some RNG in your game, it's great. If you hate RNG, it will frustrate you. In conclusion, I recommend it for players like me, but I do realize it isn't everyone's cup of tea.
