Rune is truly a great game. Gameplay is what me and my friends awe at. Not like other similar games to Rune, when a lethal slash is done to an arm of the grey humanoid monsters, that we came to call as 'gibberlings', the arm is cut off. Since controls are fluid, the battles are very realistic and many attacks can be performed. Such as my favorite attack movement 'arching' where I perform an arch while slashing with my hand axe to chop my enemy and move away from the counter attack without missing a beat.
Puzzles are fun in the beginning and continue to be.
To me most are very easy but my friends constantly have problems solving them. Fortunately my 'genius' is always of great help to them and they manage to go on through the game. Ragnar's instincts were great help to the solving of puzzles for my friends. Plus using the torches to see in the dark is a smart idea. No questions asked.
