Oh man, The Lost Vikings sequel—this one's called Norse by Norse West—is such a clever little puzzle-platformer. You're still controlling those three goofy Vikings (Erik the fast one, Baleog the fighter, and Olaf with his shield), but now they've got even weirder time-traveling adventures. The first few levels ease you in, showing off each character's moves—Erik can jump gaps, Baleog slices through enemies, and Olaf's shield lets you block arrows or even float down like an umbrella. Then it starts mixing their abilities in ways that make you stop and think.
What I love is how the puzzles aren't just "hit switches in order"—sometimes you need to leave one Viking behind as a stepping stone, or use Baleog to cut a rope so Olaf can ride a platform. The humor's still there too, with the Vikings bickering and fourth-wall-breaking jokes. It's not brutally hard, but some later levels had me stuck for a bit before the solution clicked. If you liked the first game or just want a smart co-op puzzler, this holds up surprisingly well.
