Despite its issues, Niffelheim stands as a very competent hardcore survival game that players will be engaged with for hours on end.

Niffelheim is a game determined to make each new step feel less like a monumental achievement and more like another box checked off on the way towards Valhalla. Is it something to do? Certainly, and a great deal of “something to do,” at that.

Niffelheim will likely appeal to fans of survival games but could be a bit too repetitive and obtuse to those who aren’t. I also wish the combat systems were a bit deeper.

Niffelheim is a deep and complex survival game that offers a wealth of gameplay and longevity. Though how long you ultimately spend playing it depends on how easy it is for you to overcome its flaws. Simplistic and unbalanced combat, dull environments and somewhat repetitious gameplay (largely due to the plain underground environments, not the satisfaction of looting and crafting); as well as some lengthy loading times and sluggish frame rates (on Xbox One S) all work against Niffelheim to impact the player’s overall enjoyment. Look beyond these, however, and you’ll find plenty to enjoy about Niffelheim. Niffelheim was reviewed on an Xbox One S using a digital code provided by the publisher. PowerUp!

Niffelheim had plenty of good things going for it, without room for mistakes it kind of killed the flow of the game. With plenty of other good crafting action-adventure RPG games on the Switch, Niffelheim just failed to hold my attention. If you are looking for a crafting game with a large learning curve and have time to learn it then Niffelheim might be for you. Review: Niffelheim (Nintendo Switch) Average Niffelheim had plenty of good things going for it, without room for mistakes it kind of killed the flow of the game.
