The hardcore 2D action platformer “Volgarr the Viking II” is now available for PC and consoles

VGChartz’s Evan Norris: “Volgarr the Viking II is a throwback title, for better or worse. On the positive side, it deploys its simple control scheme to maximum effect, leverages several interesting platforming ideas, and provides hours of challenging gameplay that will test your reflexes and resolve. On the negative side, its punishing nature, overlong levels, and general opacity can prove more frustrating than rewarding. Players who love to overcome the impossible and the unknowable will surely warm to this Viking adventure, while those seeking a gentler, friendlier experience will be left a little cold.”
