Jotun: Valhalla Edition

[b]Jotun: Valhalla Edition[/b] is an excellent 2D top-down boss rush, where story is spoken in Norway, this for time triggered me to invest more time with Nordic mythology and the other folklore legends around it. Only bad thing I would say the level design was sometimes a bit too “maze”. Last boss was easier than the few before it. Still feeling worthy of finishing the game in normal difficulty. For people looking more challenge there is New game+ option. [h2]Final score: 8/10[/h2]

I honestly gave up on beating the game. I was dragging myself to beat it already, but I tried like 5 times the fight with odin and uninstalled it. The only thing I liked was the piece of mythology here and there. The movement and the combat are so slow it hurts. You either do 1% dmg with the light atack or 5% with the heavy, but it winds for so long you usually miss it. It's hard to understand things because you have control over the camera. I beat Deadcells in all difficulties, and I was always ok with dying because I wasn't playing well. This game you battle against your patience more than with the enemies

lo siento es muy bonito pero es tan aburrido de jugar...

It kinda pains me to give this a negative review, but here we are. First the positive - the game is absolutely gorgeous. The artwork, the animations, and even the general polish of it all makes it beautifully clean. Unfortunately, pretty much everything else is negative. Everything is incredibly basic, movement is slow, levels are large and empty providing nothing to do. A bit like Shadow of the Colossus, this is more about the boss fights, but even those are marred by clunky movement. Also there's only 6 of them before the game is done, and perhaps worst of all I'd be lying if I said any of them felt fun. In fact, "fun" seems to be what this game is completely devoid of. The game takes a few hours to beat, and most of that time is spent wishing you could move faster. If it wasn't for the artwork, I would expect this game to have been a college project someone uploaded to the web for free.

a definitely interesting Souls-like, great controls, great combat, great world and boss design, great feeling when beating the game

gorgeous visuals with the slowest movement and animations i've ever seen, fails to tell me anything about the controls at the very start. looking at a youtube video to see if it ever gets any more smooth to control and the answer seems to be no. unfortunately, already enough to turn me off from giving it much of a chance beyond the start

Cela me réjouit de savoir qu'Odin prépare un festin. Bientôt, je boirai de la bière dans des cornes à boire. Le héro qui entre au Valhalla ne se lamente pas sur sa mort ! Je n'entrerai pas au hall d'Odin avec crainte. Là-bas, j'attendrai que mes fils me rejoignent. Et quand ils le feront, Je savourerai leurs histoires de triomphe. Les Ases vont m'accueillir ! Ma mort arrive sans excuses ! Et j'accueille les Valkyries pour m'amener à la maison !
