it is one big incohesive identity crisis.

nothing in it is done very well, but what there is is a lot of it. none of it really means anything, nor are you meant to really learn anything.

the story doesn't exist. it just doesn't? the premise is you're a viking, you're in england trying to establish your settlement. that's fine.

that's the extent of the story near as far as i can see, and i'm staring at the final stretch of the game. how the game does this is have you go out to about 30 different regions to do a small series of quests there to become buddy-buddy with them in the event you'd ever need their help to fend off some possible threat that may or may not be coming in the future.

what this threat is, exactly, the games never really elaborated on, or i just haven't gotten to the point where they do. but after 50 hours, most of which is spent doing the main story, i feel like i should have been taught it. hell, maybe i was, and it just didn't register, because dialogue in the game feels like a robot made it, the game throws so many characters at you that you just never see again and who all look similar with the fuckin just same like 9 voice actors that everyone is the same as everyone else and they blend together.

but if you don't care about any of that, because obviously why would you, you can go up and down the rivers on a boat, raiding shore settlements to get supplies to upgrade your settlement! it's very fun, if you like doing the same thing over and over and over in the exact same cookie cutter settlements. if you've been to one monastery, you've been to all of them. repeat ad nauseum for military outposts, villages, and farms.

other activities you can do is challenging someone to a chugging contest, or having a rap battle. yeah, a rap battle. and they're bad, stupid, pointless, and the only way to raise your "charisma" which is a stat that might save you like 10 minutes of the game if you cared.

which you don't.

or you can go to asgard, the god realm. what do you do there? the same exact shit, just this time your objective is to stop the wolf from eating the whatever, blah blah. it's very much a non-issue, you can skip this, it adds fuck all nothing to anything.

or you can go to america, and party with the native americans while running around in full chief gear with gigantic headdress and all. as a viking. they speak their own language, no one understands anyone, but everyone also understands everyone.

wonderful

this game sucks 4/10
