![]() ![]() Jotun is a short experience - I completed it in about 7 hours - but the game’s brevity doesn’t forgive Jotun’s lazy game design when it comes to its exploration segments. In one instance during my playthrough, an area introduced a puzzle element that involved traversing a swamp via floating rafts, but the mechanic never felt fully explored. This sleepy game design applies to Jotun’s light exploration puzzles, too. Each area presents players with new environmental hazards to overcome, but these are never more difficult than employing a well-timed roll. These power-ups, which range from healing yourself to cloning yourself, are scattered around exotic locations from Norse mythology, such as Niflheim or Yggdrasil, but sadly, exploring these areas is never nearly as exciting as their climactic boss fights. For all their difficulty, these fights never seem unfair - especially with the additions of special power-ups you discover throughout the game. Explore vast regions of Norse Purgatory to find runes to unleash the jotun, giant Norse elementals. The fight against Isa, for example, takes place on an appropriately icy battlefield that impairs Thora’s mobility, while the fight against Fe puts her in an earthy arena… surrounded by hundreds of enemies. These skirmishes are a delight – each one challenging and different from each other. To do so, she must impress the gods by slaying the fearsome jötnar, colossal titans that make up the game’s boss battles. But give it a try, I had a great time playing it, and, since I work and study, at the end of the day it was fun and relaxing to have something other then problems to think about.Jotun tells the story of Thora, a Viking warrior who dies ingloriously at sea but is given a second chance to earn her place in Valhalla. It is a good little game, cute and stuff, but I don't know if I would buy it full price knowing some other games that has the same price as this one. Conclusion: I would say to buy it in a promotion or something like that. Some stories are nice to hear and I'll give a hand that each place is unique and beautiful, but still most of then are just tiresome. Fight them using only your massive two-handed axe. I love the game in general but theres just a lot of RNG involved in the fights such that it makes some of the perfect/shun clears feel meaningless when you get them. Explore vast regions of Norse Purgatory to find runes to unleash the jotun, giant Norse elementals. I really enjoy challenging achievements and Im halfway done the Valhalla mode achieves but I gotta say I dont think this games achievements endear me to it. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. I think they were created for a educational propose, since in each search they show u some stuff like the Jörmungandr, the 4 deers, Brokk etc. Jotun is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. It doesn't take that much time, but, still, all the time I fought a boss I was like "damn. ![]() ![]() Pros: - (besides the first) Awesome and unique boss fights that give u a good challeng, specially the final boss (but not THAT much if I'm Pros: - (besides the first) Awesome and unique boss fights that give u a good challeng, specially the final boss (but not THAT much if I'm honest, u can definitly defeat them if u make some strategi) - Beautiful art style - I could see that the game was made with love (I don't know, it just felt like I needed to say it) Cons: - So that u can fight each boss u have to get the runes, and to get then u have to do some stuff and most of then are BORING. ![]()
