The Hunting God

Maybe Bodur's games just aren't for me. While I like walking simulators and more "idle" games, I have problems with his style. The only game I enjoyed so far was "education", sadly "The Hunting God" was more like his other creations. While the world in the first part of the story looks quite pretty and alive, the other 2 chapters look very boring and bland. The forrest singing with life is swapped with a more rocky landscape in chapter 2 and a very dry looking one in chapter 3. Everything apart form the landscape is also quite ugly (character models, the horse, the other figures/ creatures you come across). The voiceactor has a nice and very fitting voice for the nordic story but he often talked very rushed and quickly, that it was sometimes very hard to understand him propperly. The story is also riddled with expressions and names from the nordic myths that it is at times hard to follow. I have read the Edda and done a bit of research in regard to the nordic gods but I had never heard of the story depicted here or any other names that were mentioned. The litttle puzzles or minigames you have to complete over the course of the game were boring and did nothing in regard to the story, while some locations that would have been interesting to mention were completely ignored. All in all quite a disappointing game and nothing I'd recommend. Especially not for jut 50 minutes of gameplay.
