Great, if you are hanging out with friends a weekend and don't know what to spend your time on.

User Rating: 6.7 | Rune PC
Rune is a viking hack 'n' slash based on the Unreal engine (by now, you must have heard that 400-billion times). It is a good game, but nothing innovative or something to write home about.
A lot of the aspects of the game can be compared with Unreal, strangely enough. Graphics-wise, the game delivers what you would expect from it, but definitely not anything beyond that. The environment seems flat, and does not give off a feel of ambience. The same applies for the character models - there is not detail. The sound part of the game? Meh... Same deal. Not really anything that is worth while. It, too, seems flat, and in the cut-scenes there are sometimes delays, so the sound is out of sync with the characters mouth-movement.
The single-player campaign was just sheer disappointment. It takes a long time, before you get the feeling that you are actually going anywhere, and it takes en equal amount of time before you actually get to face some 'real' enemies. In the beginning, you are fighting some weird crab/turtle like creatures, and other equally weird creatures, that seems to have no place in viking-mythology. Multiplayer, is another thing. Though it is not great, it is certainly better than singleplayer. It is not something you can make several hours fly by with, but if you are just hanging with a bunch of friends, and need some competition (or just need to be doing something), then it is alright as an alternative (with stress on alternative).
