ODIN: Valhalla Rising has caused some shockwaves since it was first revealed earlier this year, and it was quickly followed by a publishing agreement with Korean gaming titan Kakao Games. Together with developer Lionheart Studio, more details and elements of this Unreal Engine 4 masterpiece were revealed during the ongoing G-Star 2020 exhibition.

I have no doubt Korean or JPN/Chn devs can make a visually nice game but I have not seen many indications of designing a good game beyond the visuals.
Then to further dampen the hopes is the "business"side of things,their goal is to make money first and deliver a quality game second albeit no different from east to west cultures.
So in trying to find a way to monetize and turn profits they will design the game accordingly.One such design revolves around longevity and cash shops,create unrealistic grinds for the sake of keeping longer subscriptions.Create grinds to encourage cash shop use but what all the designs lack is to bring us a plausible real world,true human like interaction,very poor AI and even worse a UI that sticks out like a sore thumb with screens full of markers and mini maps and icons pointing you to cash shop etc etc.
So what are the odds we get a developer that thinks along the lines of morally FAIR,WANTS to deliver a very realistic plausible world,character development not tied to cash shops,grind not just for the purpose of creating longevity for greedy reasons?
Well imo the odds are very low and why gaming has hit a near stagnant growth in diversity and creativity.Hence why already 10 years ago we started to see the term CLONES and copy cat gaming.All this does is give us new TITLES a new SKIN but in reality same old but maybe even worse than same old.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

I doubt the intended audience for this game will find these issues overly problematic.

Why not? It's certainly not the first time Asian games have made reference to Norse mythology, along with a broad interpretation of it. They may be more familiar with that and Nordic culture than might be assumed.
I don't expect their interpretation to be extremely close to reality, but I think whatever it turns out to be will have a strong foundation of reality to embellish upon.
Explain the reason why.
That's a pretty shallow scrap to dismiss the entirety of a game over.
