2010 · Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders · 98 min · Animation, Adventure, Fantasy
How to Train Your Dragon is DreamWorks' masterpiece, a thrilling and emotionally rich adventure built on one of the great friendships in animated film.
2015 · 5 Seasons · BBC Two / Netflix · Historical Drama / Action / Adventure
The Last Kingdom is a lean, propulsive historical epic that delivers five seasons of excellent sword-and-shield action, compelling identity drama, and one of the genre's most charismatic protagonists in Alexander Dreymon's Uhtred.
2014 · Dean DeBlois · 102 min · Animation, Adventure, Fantasy
How to Train Your Dragon 2 expands the scope of the original with darker stakes and genuine emotional weight, even if the bigger canvas comes at the cost of some intimacy.
2018 · Real-Time Strategy · PC / Steam
Northgard is a focused, well-crafted Viking RTS that succeeds by knowing exactly what it wants to be. The seasonal survival loop keeps every game feeling urgent, the clan variety gives it genuine replay value, and years of developer support have made it considerably more generous than it launched. Combat depth is limited and repetitiveness can set in after extended play, but for the audience it's aimed at, the game delivers confidently and consistently.
