Jotun is mostly an EXPLORATION/ADVENTURE game with MINOR combat elements

Jotun is mostly an EXPLORATION/ADVENTURE game with MINOR combat elements. PROS: + visuals + music + boss battles + oozing Norse mythos atmosphere + Icelandic language CONS: - may be too slow-paced for some - combat(hitboxes mostly) is sometimes frustrating - THE FU@#$% LAVA ROCKLOBBERS Jotun is a gorgeous and atmospheric adventure into the realms of Norse mythology. People automatically assume that there's gonna be a lot of bloodshed, since the protagonist is a Viking(actually, it's a she- Thora); HOWEVER, the game is heavily focused on EXPLORATION. I just want to clarify this, so potential players won't be upset once they get the game. Fortunately, when combat happens, it's(mostly) glorious and intense. Will you impress the gods?

You should give this game a shot

You should give this game a shot. Challenging, beautiful both visually and sonically, fun, exciting, and respectful of your time. Jotun is a lovely hand-drawn game that fuses the heavy and responsive combat of a Souls game with accurate re-tellings of Norse mythology, in practice being a series of boss fights interspersed with some open world traversal and puzzle-solving. It's a game that had me on the edge of my seat dealing with it's amazing bosses, lost in reflection in it's beautiful worlds, and caught up in it's music and visuals for a long time after I put it down. Check it out.

I cannot stress how much I enjoyed this game

I cannot stress how much I enjoyed this game. The controls were easy to learn, but difficult to master, which made boss fights a bit frustrating, but that only made it that much more satisfying when I finally beat them. The art is hands-down my favorite thing about this game. Everything is absolutely beautiful, from the scenery to the character/ boss designs. This is without a doubt one the most aesthetically appealing game I've ever played, second only to Child of Light.
