Expeditions: Viking Preview

Expeditions: Viking is the second entry in Logic Artists Expeditions series, and sees the player take control of a Viking heir attempting to pick up where their father left off.

The plot is thick with the same Slavic inspirations that can be seen in The Banner Saga and The Witcher 3’s isles of Skeligge, and that theme is going to drive a lot of your decisions as you go through the game. If succeeding in a battle is only possible through underhanded means, are you going to be worse off in the long run as your clan disowns you?

There’s always something kind of fantastic about Vikings; whether you’re talking about the politics or core values, it feels both completely separate from our own lives and yet somehow entwined. I’m further drawn in by a soundtrack that is so completely true to form and various pieces of artwork in loading screens that are simultaneously beautiful and refreshing.
