5 Best Games Based on Norse Mythology

It’s just so incredibly addicting.

Especially when Im essentially gaming different points of view of the same thing.

Perhaps it’s the gods' unwavering perseverance in the face of the most difficult challenges.

Or the way they always want to maintain their honor.

All this even if some of the things the gods do would be questionable in today’s society.

Still, becoming a Viking and exploring Greek mythology’s folktales has never been more attractive.

It’s time to shake things up!

There is no journey as engrossing yet terrifying as the main character’s.

A Celtic warrior named Senua, quests to free her dead lover’s soul.

It’s a journey into Viking Hell itself.

One that necessitates sacrifice as the name of the game, lest you say you weren’t warned.

Voices in Senua’s head torment her on her journey to hell.

Still, the story’s interweaving of mental health psychosis and Norse mythology is quite well-executed.

This provides a strategic intertwining of myth and reality altogether.

I loveJotunbecause of the hand-drawn animation scenes that are exquisite and much different from most Norse Mythology games.

For that reason, its easy to dismiss Jotun.

On the road to Valhalla, you encounter the five Jotunn, essentially giant Norse creatures.

Valheim

Most Norse mythology games integrate the ideas and myths of the Norse gods into their stories.

Depending on your work ethic, new areas and challenges open up to you.

Its a purgatory sort of place for Odins slain Vikings, where theyre reassigned to serve a new purpose.

So there is none of that pressure to perform on the battlefield.
