Loki may be a simple case of a studio setting its sights too high. You can tell that it is ambitious and that passion has been put into many aspects of the game. But without some major patching, Loki can only hope to appeal to the die hard action adventure gamer or mythology buff.
While the review at Gameplanet gives the game an overall score of 3/5:
...there is always some kind of hook in any good game that hits you, usually within the first couple of hours of game play, and makes you want to keep coming back. Whether it's the first time you discover an enemy in Civilization, the first headshot in Counter-Strike, or even the first real quick lap you do in Gran Turisimo, you're pulled into the game and for many people it can be years before they put it down. Loki is exceptional in that it has absolutely nothing like that at all. Oh sure, it's not a bad game as such, some would venture to describe it as "solid", and "enjoyable", and even "better than Two Worlds", but there really isn't anything that sets it apart and elevates it to even an approximation of Diablo II, or even Dungeon Siege if we're being honest. However, if you just can't play anything but RPGs and you've played everything else, then by all means you probably won't feel like you've wasted your money.
