Referring to the Viking ethnic groups in Northern Europe, most of us probably think of great and brave warriors and fierce and fierce fighting. As you can see, most of the games in this list are quite 'colorful' and 'friendly' rather than the violent and bloody way we imagine in Viking warriors ( which everyone surely expected in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla coming). So wait for the next part, I guarantee that the next Northern European games will be authentic Viking and of course there will be titles that many people wait for their turn to be named.
