Someone on reddit commented that Beowulf has a video game plot and I can tell you it's 100% true. I recommend Seamus Heaney's translation, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaB0trCztM0

I first tried Tolkien's translation and found it unreadable, but listen to his Beowulf inspired song, the Lay of Beowulf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeOOj3nB6c
