    I was expecting a prequel, but this looks way more interesting! I think the burning dude is Ifrit, which may make the woman Shiva…? She mentioned Sekmet after that bright light. And that strange mask of Odin’s is somehow related? So much potential here!!

    Also, if this is the afterlife of the gods, then it seems like there would be a ton of Greeks who’d love to meet Laufey once they realize who her husband is…

      I don’t know if that guy is Ifrit, but the woman had some subtle egyptian designs in her outfit.

    That was a pretty brutal 20 minutes. If the game was coming out on a platform I own, even if I was excited for how the combat works, that was barely interactive, and I wouldn’t be looking forward to sitting through that again. In The Legend of Zelda, you hold up for about a second and a man immediately gives you a sword; I couldn’t help but think of that during all that story setup.

    I…

    Do not know how I feel about bringing back a charachter who does SO MUCH because of her absence.

    Too bad I won’t be finding out if it works, as Sony won’t be porting this to PC.

      With the current state of the entertainment industry I’m surprised they still didn’t do a LOTR movie explaining Tom Bombadil.

      There isn’t a single exec that understands why it’s important for big narratives to have mysteries.

    Made the mistake of checking the reddit thread, it looks fun, ppl fr hate anything marvelesque that isn’t edgy all the time I guess

    Thought this looked really good!

    The uncut gameplay reveal approach is a little weird when combined with the mostly-cinema beginning of the game. Might’ve been nice to see more gameplay and less setup.

    I dig how goofy Frank the cube is. But I can see those quirky random characters really rubbing some folks the wrong way.

      Yeah, I was getting Quantantmania vibes from Frank and the sword. Aside from that, this looks really good!

      My friend is considering selling his PS5 to me for about $500 with games, provided I take his offer before FF7 Part 3 comes out. I already have my Steam Deck and Switch 2 (AKA Paperweight 2) to keep me occupied. Plus, not having a job makes any big budget purchase tenuous at best.

      Games like Wolverine and Laufey, and Astro Bot are making me keep his offer in the back of my mind for now, but only if they stay exclusive.
