    I feel bad slagging a labor-of-love indie game, but this was not at all good. I'm mystified by the positive reviews. Sure, the art style is ok, but talk about wretched gameplay. Perhaps I gave up too soon.

    Even though I bought this on sale, it still wasn't worth it. The visuals are amazing, but the gameplay is a snoozefest! I wish I had waited for reviews to come out before purchasing.

    The boss fights are incredible, the world feels alive, and there is something soothing to the exploration. At the same time, though, the exploration segments tend to carry on for too long and without much interesting happening along the way, so a lot of the game feels like padding.

    To see a developer fully embrace Norse mythology in a way like Jotun is refreshing. [Issue #24 – November/December 2016, p.19S]

    Jotun: Valhalla Edition is a marvelous effort that clearly stands out amidst the indie games pool. With its rich visual environment, very engaging boss battles, extremely demanding combats that will require full commitment from the player and recurrent replay value, this is a game that will certainly keep everyone clinging on to their Wii U GamePad for a very long time.
