If there’s one thing that Munin understands that other games ( cough God of War) don’t, it’s that Loki is an asshole and he ruins everything. The third game comes out this upcoming July. It’s an interesting, and vividly beautiful, take on the mechanics of battle. This tactical roleplaying series, like the other games on this list, draws from Norse mythology, but leans more towards an appreciation for “Viking culture”, with touches of influence taken from the various races depicted in its folklore. The art of The Banner Saga, inspired by the visual style and techniques used on the 1959 animated Disney film Sleeping Beauty, is nothing short of enchanting. In a way, Through the Woods feels like how many of the beings in Norse mythology came to be: sprung from the fantasies of young children who were told not to play alone in the forest. As she searches for him, she finds mythical beasts, empty longhouses, and ominous rune-inscribed stones that hint to a ancient, disturbing mystery tied directly to the fate of her son. The game takes the player through several abandoned villages in a remote Norwegian forest, as protagonist Karen tracks her kidnapped son Espen. However, while it may be light on some of the more popular themes associated with Norse mythology, it’s heavy on the elemental spells, giving the culture’s history of paganism and wizardry some much-needed time in the spotlight.Ī thing I like about Through the Woods is its ability to tap into the imagination of Norse folklore.

On the contrary, there are actually a fair amount, with influence drawn from Vikings, the Norse pantheon and traditional paganism spread across all manner and genre of titles.
