Helheim Hassle is a genuinely funny game with a dark sense of humour that holds up throughout a series of creative and silly puzzles.

Helheim Hassle is a fun and quirky puzzle platforming game where you get to control your limbs and head separate from your body. With a beautiful hand drawn look, Vikings and a great sense of humour this game is a lot of fun and full of extra content to keep you busy for a long time.

Helheim Hassle is another solid entry in to the gaming world from Perfectly Paranormal. It’s funny, has clever puzzle mechanics and designs, and there’s much more to do here than initial impressions might appear. Switching between the body parts is too fiddly to do with speed, so some sections suffer as a result and can be mightily frustrating, but other than that there’s a lot of fun to be had here. This game was reviewed based on Xbox One review code, using an Xbox One console.

The humour in Helheim Hassle is spot-on for a laugh-out-loud adventure and it provides many impressively rewarding puzzles as well.Helheim Hassle gameplay video → Darkestville Castle Review Switch ★★★☆☆ Old-school point-and-click adventure games are always a fun retro throwback but is the delightfully evil Darkestville Castle worthwhile? Right off the bat, I just want to say that I didn't find Darkestville Castle funny at all.

The ideas, characters, humor, and gameplay make for a very enjoyable time despite a few annoyances. If you’re looking for your next puzzle game fix and want to experience a silly romp through Norse mythology, or if you’re a masochist who likes the idea of ripping your limbs off; I fully recommend picking up Helheim Hassle.

Fall head over heels with Helheim Hassle, a game about putting your best foot forward, that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. If you like entertaining puzzle games, don’t sit on your hands, get to that eShop!

Helheim Hassle is a great time from start to finish despite some issues with the controls and certain gameplay sections. The writing, characters, world, art style, and voice acting are all at a really high level for an independent game and many of the game’s puzzles are enjoyable to figure out and solve. It’s really just the timed sections and the control layout that makes this trip to Helheim a little bit less enjoyable. If you haven’t joined Bjorn and Pesto on their journey yet though I highly recommend doing it in the future as the rest of the game outside of those two things is really good. *Helheim Hassle is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
