![]() ![]() The game is available now on Epic Games Store. Its glitch-filled empty world and finicky inventory system combined with unremarkable combat make for a lackluster experience. Maybe with a few updates the game will offer a more consistent experience.Įscapist Magazine offers a short video review that can be summarized with this: Ultimately, Rune II just doesn’t feel finished. Along with the bugs and glitches, it was hard to get a consistent feeling of where the game wanted to go. It often feels like a bunch of stories and ideas packed together to attempt to make a cohesive story. With its simplistic inventory and crafting system, it’s easy for players to grasp. Gaming Trend 70/100: Rune 2 is an impressive game that has a lot to offer casual and RPG fans. Banshee is tiny little company with rabid fans and the Rune is one of the reasons. It costs significantly more and weighs about 1.5-2 lbs less and Banshee beat SC out of the gate with the Rune by nearly two years. Whether that’s enough to overcome the numerous flaws is up to you. The bike that is closest in form and geometry to the Rune V2 is the new Nomad from SC. If you can find a small group of other players, it’s also a lot more fun to play cooperatively. Human Head clearly had a love for the subject matter and that does shine through here, making it worth a look for like-minded gamers. Norse mythology is a great setting for a game, packed with dense lore and fascinating stories and characters. Indie Game Website 6/10: The lure of Rune II is largely in its atmosphere and Nordic themes. Rune II is a game stuck in the past, but even the Norse folk of thousands of years ago deserve something just a little bit better, and a whole lot more thoughtful. Graphics improved, combat became more nuanced and complex, even RPG elements grew more streamlined. Perhaps it is largely because the competition has improved so much, where this game remained at the same level. Screen Rant 1.5/5: 19 years in the making, Rune II comes as a massive disappointment to fans of the original. The result is a game that successfully walks the tightrope between appealing to the linearity-loving traditionalists, fans of sprawling RPGS, and the adherents of Minecraft’s make-your-own-adventure style of play. Where many games try to drive engagement through more quests, more distractions, more collectibles, more everything, RUNE II pares that drive back to its bare essentials. Moreover, Human Head should be celebrated for daring to take a different approach to its open world. The game is solid and dependable, its faults never quite enough to sink it. Only SP 4/5: RUNE II lacks the wow factor to be a serious contender in most Game of the Year lists, but that does not mean it should be overlooked. And if you'd like to learn if Human Head's final independent project ended up being any good, you should check out the reviews below: Following the game's launch, Human Head Studios was forced to shut down, only to be promptly absorbed by Bethesda as Roundhouse Studios. Originally announced as Rune: Ragnarok, Human Head Studios' viking-themed action-RPG Rune II was released earlier this month. ![]()
