![]() ![]() It may be a fair example of games as art, but I don’t think playing it is required to properly appreciate its artistic value. Judged more by its artistic value and less by its gameplay, it would do quite well. So what I can say about Jotun is that it can be seen as a pretty good work of art, at least considering its limitations. It had at first struck me as a gimmick which was likely to prove annoying, but once I actually played for a while and heard it a few times, I realized it really fit and enhanced the setting and the desired atmosphere. I’d say that the spoken language proved to be somewhat more notable, on the other hand. How Thora presents a part of her story after each section also works out all right, despite probably not being something notable in itself. The way the creation myth was used in the Ymir’s Blood area struck me as particularly notable, though I guess others may disagree, since this is very obvious while in other areas the mythology was perhaps more organically intertwined. That is indeed excellent, and also does a good job of creating the sensation of scale and of how small Thora is compared to the challenges she’s facing, but the music isn’t bad either and the developers seem to have made pretty good use of the mythology, at least for the limitations of the game. What does work well in Jotun is the art, and I’m not just referring to the style of the graphics. ![]() The handful of attempted “Valhalla Mode” battles against the two Jotun which had seemed easy only resulted in the same number of deaths without it even seeming that I had a chance against those more powerful versions and I didn’t care to struggle any more with that, so I’m just referring to the game itself, up to that point, which is actually pretty short, despite some issues that may make it artificially longer and also cause the player to reconsider a session if they’re not certain they’ll have the time to at least finish an entire area. That second Jotun, which is in fact the only one that attacks simply because you’re there, the other battles starting after you strike first, made me think I had been wrong, killing me dozens of times and making it seem as if I couldn’t get past a certain point in the battle, but once I got past that it went quite smoothly. Started Jotun in the first hours of 2019, thinking it’ll be a game I should be able to finish quickly enough, to get a good start of the year from this point of view, and that proved to be the case. and in other countries."Much better as a work of art than as a game" Jotun, Thunder Lotus Games and Jotun: Valhalla Edition are trademarks of Thunder Lotus Games in the U.S. Software Usage Terms apply, See eu./legal for full usage rights. exclusively licensed to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.
