Loki is an enjoyable and addictive game. It doesn't add much to the genre - but does it need to? The average graphics and a few other minor problems deny this game a really high score, which is a shame, as I really had fun playing it. Loki is very much like Neverwinter Nights 2 crossed with Diablo II, with a dash of gods and mythology thrown in for good measure. If you liked these games, or other hack 'n' slash action RPGs, then you should find Loki an enjoyable experience. It's also definitely worth considering even if you haven't played any games in the genre before, as it makes for a fine introduction.
While the other is at Gamers Europe with an overall score of 2/10:
There are other problems as well the voice acting, the animations, the ridiculous save system and the fact that most of the time you have no idea where you're supposed to be going but either you're convinced by now, or you're not. Loki may appeal to the hardcore hack n' slash fan (if such a thing still exists) but it lacks any of the appeal or charm of Diablo. This game is so flawed, so monotonous and deathly, deathly dull that I'm struggling to think of any reason whatsoever to waste your time and money on it. Well intentioned this game may be, but that's the nicest thing you can really say about it.
I think it's safe to say that someone is either being very forgiving or overly critical.
