with a game like, Adventures through Ragnarok, having influences from many games like the elder scrolls, DnD, rust and Monster Hunter, to create it's own unique selling point. the game needs to be fun, immersive and above all: functional. The game succeeds in many ways. while the game could use some degrees of improvements. This leads to many story ideas and fights and enemy ideas. the moral system plays a huge role in its replay value also.

In a world, riddled with crime, corruption, evil; one man will hold nothing back to survive and save it, or end it.

Enjoyable.
