Helheim Hassle
Helheim Hassle is a narrative adventure game that is as much about friendship as it is about body parts. From the same universe (and set on the same Tuesday in fact) as previous hit Manual Samuel, comes this macabre adventure where you play as Bjørn, a pacifist Viking who hates the idea of dying and going to Valhalla… who then ends up dying and getting taken to Valhalla. When Bjørn is resurrected to assist with a task for the mysterious Pesto, he sees a way to negotiate his way out. Using Bjørn’s undying corpse with its ability to detach and combine limbs at will, players must solve challenging puzzles and navigate tricky levels in order to retrieve a certain magical item… In return, Pesto will try to grant Bjørn a permanent residence in Helheim – what a hassle!

An exceedingly underrated gem, this game boasts an astonishing artistic style reminiscent of the cartoons of my youth. Its animation and voice acting are of exceptional quality. The narrative is a delightful voyage filled with engaging characters and perplexing puzzles. It is undeniably a labor of love, evoking a sense of nostalgia akin to indulging in Nickelodeon cartoons. With a mere 161 reviews, one must implore, 'Is this not deserving of more?' My anticipation mounts for your forthcoming endeavor (The Holy Gosh Darn)
Best of luck! <3

✿ PROS
- funny dialogues and a fun story overall
- okay, it's not just the story but the extra things not related to the main game are hilarious too
- norse mythology with satan and his gang doing a crossover
- odd but unique characters
- lots of side quests
- you get to be a chill viking who refuses to do what vikings do
✿ CONS
- puzzles are too easy (not really a con but if you're into a more difficult puzzle, you shouldn't expect that here)
✿ RATING: 5/5
// wow, this game had me chuckle from start to finish. i don't think i had played a game which made me do that in a while so hats off to the developers of this game. the humor was great and i enjoyed it! this puzzle platformer is quite easy and straightforward (don't pay attention to my no. of hours. i had this game running in the background several times), you might be able to finish it in less than 2 hours if you choose to disregard the side quests.
now, the game play isn't bad. you basically have to throw your body parts around and figure out how to solve a puzzle. the game doesn't punish you if you fall, get squished, get caught, or whatever else that can potentially kill you because there's no dying in this game. there are no such thing as "fights" (wink wink) but i enjoyed the mixture of a chase scene while solving puzzles. i wish that there could be more like that out of personal interest but i think the way they did it in this game is quite alright. i was here for the humorous adventure to begin with. so yea, i highly recommend this one if you like a fun story with a chill game mechanic. you won't regret it!
