Jotun: Valhalla Edition

I recently decided to give Jotun a review after completing it years ago. While I didn’t remember all the details, the stunning art and atmosphere was something that stood out for me. The hand-drawn visuals are simply gorgeous, and they really bring the Norse mythology to life in a way that feels both epic and intimate. The voice acting also made it that much better. The boss battles are a standout feature. Each Jotun has its own unique design and mechanics, making every encounter feel fresh and challenging. The flow of the combat, and the satisfaction of defeating a giant after figuring out its patterns is hard to beat. I also appreciated the narrative woven throughout the game. The themes of honor and bravery resonate well, and it’s nice to see a game that doesn’t just rely on action but also tells a meaningful story. If you’re looking for a game that combines beautiful art, engaging gameplay, and a compelling story, Jotun is definitely worth your time. Even after all these years, it’s a magical experience that holds up incredibly well. Don’t miss out on this gem!

Art is great, gameplay isn't good. People talks a lot about bosses, they are cool, difficult and have great animation but the main boss is how repetitive, confusing, slow and boring are the maze-like stages, I left the game at the Cave because I felt that my time had been wasted enough and didn't want to lose 40 minutes of my life in another maze, and judging by the previous boss the next two were going to be annoying as hell. I call it quits. The mythological part was intriguing, but I didn't learn much from playing...

(3 hour non-completion review) I'm dropping Jotun, not because it's a bad game... However, because it's just not a game for me I realized something in my 3 hours of playing and once I realized this it made the game a chore more than something fun. The bosses (the two I fought) are complex and will require some skill. If I could improve the mechanics of this game I'd do one of the three: Add a run button, remove the dodge roll pause effect, or lower the time on the heavy attack by .5 seconds. One of those three would fix my game play issues perfectly. As it stands now bosses absolutely take advantage that you're slow, the dodge roll pause makes it so dodging makes you a vulnerable target when using it, and the heavy attack is asking bosses to just kill you. If one of these three things were fixed the game would be challenging but not seem unfair at points. Over all beautiful and interesting completely wroth the $15 for full price and definitely worth the $2.24 it is now especially if you're a fan of souls like.

Game offers few hrs of simple puzzle quests, few satisfying bossfights, lots of exploration. Graphic is beautiful, so is the music and great Norwegian voiceacting. Flaws: -Short pause after rolling is annoying as hell. - slow movement overall - map in pause menu is kinda weird idea - Polish version has awful font that not covers Polish special letters :/

♥♥♥♥ movement and attacks :( but its pretty

这游戏的手感垃圾得惊人，即便是免费送都不建议入库玩，完全是浪费生命。

Прям.. Очень плохо. Что ты, кто ты? Тебе нормально не скажут, просто сражайся с боссами. Как играть - тебе тоже не объяснят. Ни про перекат, ни про смену способности и её использование. Заходи в настройки, смотри там. Также и надо, верно? Навигация - никакая. Нету отображения где ты. Что за объекты на карте - неизвестно. В итоге, ты несколько минут бегаешь, пытаясь понять, этот огромный камень это тот самый камень или другой камень. А потом осознаёшь, что ориентирование по карте тебе вовсе не нужно, ибо геймплей вообще не в этом. Боёвка и сама игра - безумно медленная. Чтобы играть в неё, я должен наслаждаться процессом, но единственное, что мне хочется, это нажать кнопку ускорения. Буквально - делают всё, чтобы искусственно продлить игру, делая из максимум игры на час - трёх часовую. Идиотские хитбоксы, где ты сражаешься либо в боссе, либо не достаёшь до него атакой. Причём я всё понимаю, не получилось сделать нормальные отростки. Но зачем это делать первым боссом?.. В общем, покупать только при -90%, если не больше, и то, если вас устраивает замедленный геймплей. Из плюсов могу выделить только механики врагов, или других инородных предметов, что используются перед боссом, что будет их использовать. И головоломки, которые.. В других играх будут если не поинтереснее, то как минимум с более отзывчивым и приятным управлением. Буквально игра, в которую не играли сами разрабы, раз умудрились такое выпустить.
