>>717809820 (OP)
Saints row 2

>vidya
>hyperborean spirit
pick one and only one, as theyre completely exclusive

Darklands

>>717809820 (OP)
god of war ps2
god of war 2 ps2
honorable mention
spartan total warrior

>>717809820 (OP)
Classicvania, for whatever reason. Simon Belmont is LARPing as Conan

>>717809820 (OP)
valheim if it were good

pirated a game called age of barbarian that hit the spot

Chivalry 2

>>717809820 (OP)
Blade of Darkness really hits the spot. Especially if you pick the barbarian.

>>717813867
damn that's smooth

>>717809820 (OP)
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos has you exploring a strange world of esoteric rules trying to establish your own meaning of justice and repeatedly being unsuccessful in your attempts to make everyone fuck off and leave you alone.

>>717814449
I completely forgot they made another Zeno Clash. The description is enticing, but is it actually fun?

Severance Blade of Darkness

>>717809820 (OP)
Myth and Myth 2: Soulblighter.

>>717814498
It's phenomenal. The combat's visceral and some of the best close-combat melee I've ever played, the world design is just as delightfully batshit as Zeno Clash 1/2, the character writing is compelling, and the overall game flows really well. I have some minor gripes with some of the soulslike mechanics and I think at one point it was intended to be co-op so there's a weirdly tacked-on dual world thing going on, but it's still something I highly recommend to anyone who liked the first two games.

>>717809820 (OP)
The graphics are just a few pixels, but the writing and lore of Path of Achra is based on Ancient poetry and mythology

That Clash game is 85% off on steam right now, ends in like 8 hours. I picked it up as it was just like 4 bucks, thanks for rec

>>717814586
Is it challenging and difficult or more a chill soak in the world mood? Either is fine asking so I know what mindset to play it in.

>>717815309
Not that anon but I thought it only gets difficult when enemies swarm you in bullshit numbers, or in tight arenas, or the enemy is bullshit and refuses to be stunned/staggered.
Really the game's more or less just a matter of you finding a hit string that never stops and using that to overwhelm whatever the hell you're fighting, and then darting back when they are no longer staggered.

>>717815162
oh shit. I picked it up as well. Thanks for the heads up

>>717815506
this looks like a 00's 360 game

>>717815943
The dev team has been around for that long so no surprise. They made shit like Rock of Ages if you remember that game.

>>717815943
That's just the zeno clash artstyle

>>717809820 (OP)
There is only one choice.

>>717816349
the death song instantly played in my mind when I looked at the picture

The Darksiders games

>>717816385
Such kino.

>>717816436
Do they? Darksiders vibe reminds me more of comic books. Something like Spawn.

>>717809820 (OP)
Brutal Legend

>>717809820 (OP)
Rune

>>717816851
>free-roam hack n slash metal game with cameos and awesome soundtrack
>turns into shitty console RTS for some reason

>>717810957
You're right but let's pretend they aren't exclusive.
For me, it's factorio or strategy games like HoI and EU4

>>717809820 (OP)
First and foremost, we have to figure out what "hyperborean spirit" even is.
It sounds rather Swedish, so it's something socialist and queer, right? Pretty sure many recent Western AAA releases will satisfy you.

>>717818241
I liked the RTS sections
They're not good because there's no real strategy involved and lol consoles, but there's a certain level of dumb fun to them

>>717809820 (OP)
Paradox interactive games
>Northern European
>Racist
>Focused on creating empires and civilizations

>>717809820 (OP)
Hyperboreans from greek legends were simple people that lived in land of plenty and didnt know war
So Sims is the game you are looking for

>>717809820 (OP)
World of warcraft classic
Beowulf the game
Mount and blade
Gothic
Lord of the rings the two towers and return of the king
The elder scrolls series

To be honest, any game where you can customize yourself can be hyperborean in the sense that you can roleplay as a barbarian in any setting. Even the harry potter game can be a hyperborean game in the spirit.

>>717809820 (OP)
There's a pal exclusive Conan game on GameCube that's pretty kewl.
Also Northern Journey, indie game

>>717811049
I'd include god of war 3 ps3 ngl

>>717814539
My man

>>717818475

>>717816385

>>717818882
It's only a handful of missions in the single player honestly, I'd say it's worth 10 bucks if you're into metal or want something different

>>717818882
worth it, but it's a shame you didn't grab it for free after Ozzy died

>>717818882
The back half has more RTS than action but you play the game for the funny metal shit not the gameplay to be desu with you
