Loki
This game came out at around the same time as Titan Quest, yet Titan Quest looks 100x better graphically. Heck, Diablo 2 looks better. This game has unpolished looking graphics, a horrible UI, a rather badly made loot system, a frustrating skill system, and lousy combat.
The character balancing was pretty godawful too. You choose one of four characters (Greek Archer, Nordic Barbarian, Egyptian Wizard, Aztec Shaman), each of which have three skill trees that you can access by worshipping one of three different dieties for that particular class. You may only put points into a tree if you are currently worshipping that particular god. It is a rather needlessly complicated skill system.

Well this game was a dissapointment. I expected something along the quality of titan quest or din’s curse, but this game has failed to deliver many of the consepts of what makes an Arpg enjoyable.
Lets not kill the game outright and talk about some good things in it:
-
The game worlds have great background music, especially in the egyptian world.
-
The fighting animation of both the hero and individual enemies is well done.
-
This game has found a way to make the restart mechanism of Arpg compatible with the story.

NOTE Sometimes depending on the amount of players you’ll be put into a game with wrong teams(everyone is blue for example). In this case PRESS THE SEMICOLON (;) key to change teams. Everything works normally after that.
This is an amazing game!! It’s a fantasy hack and slash pvp. It really is reminiscent of Tolkien. You can choose from three avatars, a huntress, a swordsman, or a smith, and all three have different capabilities. It’s first team to seven points, or the game ends after 15 minutes. Check it out, for 10 dollars it’s worth well above it’s price. For anyone who likes fantasy or knows someone who likes fantasy, buy this game!!!

This game is amazing! It’s really fun, with only a few changes I would like to see. First of all, the matchmaking is a little bit inconsistent. Sometimes when I loaded in it was only me in on open world, while other times I was with players. Also, when you load in all players will be on the blue team (this is a bug and will be fixed). So, a temporary fix is to press the “;” key, which changes the team. Other than those few issues, the game look beautiful and is extremely engrossing!

Titan Quest Anniversary Edition
Titan Quest is the grandfather of Grim Dawn and despite the latter adding its own features and flavour, Titan Quest is an epic, mythological arpg that’s not to be missed. It world is huge, the class system is interesting, leveling progress is rewarding and the combat feels punchy. If you like the idea of facing off against Medusa and the hydra or fine tuning your character build, looking for that last piece of loot or class synergy, don’t miss Titan Quest. I far prefer it to the Diablo series.
100% recommended, I just hope they add more dlc in future.

BUYER BEWARE: This game now backdoors Epic Online Services onto your computer. If you are like me this is a deal breaker. I bought this game over 10 years ago and I’ve really enjoyed it (the game is great), but EOS is a red line. I want nothing to do with Epic Games and refuse to have their software on my system. It is outrageous that THQ Nordic installed this on my machine without my permission or even a warning. BUYER BEWARE.

Vikings - Wolves of Midgard
I’ve been playing this game on and off for quite a while now so I thought why not write a review:
Visuals:
-
beautiful handcrafted maps with multiple points of interest
-
multiple environments from northern forests, to sandy beaches, lava castles and medieval villages
-
enemies often have different skins depending on their environment
-
great lighting and shaders
-
particle effects aren’t as over the top as in most other H&S games (I’m looking at you Diablo III)
- The camera is a little too close to the character

Rise of the Argonauts
Rise of the Argonauts is a game that gets very little notice today. You play as Jason of Iolcus, king of ancient myth, whose wife Alceme is murdered by nefarious assassins. Instead of accepting her death, Jason sets out upon a journey across Greece in search of the one artifact that is reputedly able to reverse death: the Golden Fleece. Unique setting, fair graphics (Unreal 3), average voice-acting, good combat, and a fabulous soundtrack make this a niche classic.
After the death of Alceme at the beginning, Jason must venture to several places, looking for clues to the location of the Golden Fleece. Three of these locations – Mycenae, Kythra, and Saria - can be visited in any order, so there is the possibility to take different squad-mates with you depending on where you visit first (you can take two for a party size of three). After everyone has been gathered, you have the location of the Golden Fleece, and proceed linearly to the end of the game. The areas and levels themselves are large, but not very open. Not that there would have been anything gained by a sandbox design; but the levels generally feel narrow and restricted, save for the wide open arenas where the fighting occurs.

It is an interesting take on the Greek myths and an excellent action-rpg. It doesn’t retell the stories of the characters we know from the Greek myths, but instead weaves a new tale that showcases those legends. It’s very much the Greek Mythos version of Jade Empire.
You begin the game as King Jason of Iolcus. He sails the seas on the Argo, a large mechanical ship, and in the course of adventuring acquires new party and crew members (the Argonauts of the title). Be aware: the first 20-30 mins of the game is pretty bad, but once you speak to the gods, gain their boons and get to the Argo, the game gets progressively better.

Letande vs. crappy Russian RPGs! Round 999! FIGHT!!! Seriously, though. When it’s about crappy Russian (also, Ukrainian) role-playing games, I’m a freakin' veteran. I’ve played and finished pretty much everything there was – from Заклятие (Spells of Gold) to Талисман (Talisman, an RPG in Slavic setting from 2003, not to be confused with German point-and-click adventure from 1995 and Nomad Games' adaptation of Game Workshop’s tabletop game). To be honest, though, I didn’t expect any new games of the kind. I mean, something like that? It was possible only during the very certain time period. A period, when majority of the Russian people didn’t have access to Internet connection and it was possible to sell pretty much any crap to them for the price of proper products. Games like Орда: Северный Ветер (Horde: Northern Wind) were possible only because there was no YouTube to show people what they’ll actually get for their money. The more accessible Internet became – the less of such games we’ve got. The lest one of the kind I’ve played was, I believe, Ukrainian Заговор Тёмной Башни (Dark Tower Conspiracy, AKA Dungeon Quest) in 2006. After that? All those wannabe developers switched to mobile games. Which are not nearly as fun to suffer through.

Well, I have no idea who made English translation , but he must be executed.
For rest of the game - world and soundtrack combined are TASTY , pleasure for my eyes and ears for this price. Blood is shameful though, combat - found it funny, but only for 3 hours not more.
7/10 for Indie like that. Trash cause of translation, but good enough for that money and I still understood the story.

God of Riffs does seem to have a lot of potential. The recent 0.8.3 update brought many QoL updates, which significantly improved the quality of the game, and the developers are quite active on their discord server.

Great game, art and gameplay. However, the text for the abilities is so small!! I like the upgrades for the characters. I hope to see more video games from Peru soon!

There used to be a big review with criticism here. I develop my own games myself, and delve into game design. There are a few controversial points in this game, but overall everything is fine. I was wrong about some things, so I’m changing my review.
Thanks to the game developer for the answer! It helped me to understand the game a little better. It’s funny, but when I played the game in the morning, I didn’t encounter the problems that I noticed in my review. And it’s not that they were fixed, but that I was terribly tired and sleepy when I played the game. In fact, I just needed to get some sleep! x)

Absolutely fantastic game that is re-playable over and over.
I’ve been playing for well over 100+ hours and the story and dialogue has been continuous, with next to no repeated dialogue. The game and story progresses with you and your skill level, so whether you are taking it leisurely or whether you’re a speed runner, it has a massive amount of combinations of dialogue depending on what you’re doing, which weapon you’re wielding, which trinkets you’re holding, which God’s boons you’ve previously chosen, the relationship level between certain characters.
