But with the limited scope for the interactive aspects of both the exploration and combat, Jotun never quite reaches the heights of Valhalla, instead providing a mediocre experience that inspires as often as it bores. While the genre Jotun falls in isn’t exactly jam-packed with other options, potential players who lack the right amount of Norse-based curiosity would most likely be able to find better experiences elsewhere.

Imagine the bleakness of the man versus giant creatures gameplay of Shadow of the Colossus as a definitively Nordic tale, and you have a general idea of what Jotun is. Sprinkle in a little bit of Dark Souls' difficulty and a malevolent sense of...

Visuals and atmosphere can only get you so far as a game. If Jotun's gameplay matched the quality of its presentation, this would be at the pinnacle of the boss rush genre but easy bosses, dull combat and its general brevity bring Jotun to its...

More disappointing than a truly bad game is a game that nips at the heels of greatness but lands flat on its face. A bland game is forgettable. A good game is fine. A bad game is, often, fun to trash and laugh at. A game that shoots for the moon and...

If you're looking for a beautiful world to explore and great boss battles to be had you can't go wrong with Jotun. For $15.00 on Steam you'll certainly get your money's worth. It won't be easy to earn the gods' favor, but it's something you'll be...

Um tema muito pouco explorado nos games, a mitologia nórdica está bem representada em "Jotun". O jogo traz uma ótima combinação entre história envolvente com a viking Thora, batalhas contra os chefes inesquecíveis, lindos cenários elementais desenhados...

Jotun, sebbene non sia esente da difetti come qualità altalenante del level design e scarsa longevità, propone un egregio mix tra esplorazione, enigmi e combattimenti all'ultimo sangue in un'ambientazione a dir poco fantastica che corrisponde...
