+ Graphics are good.

-Gameplay is incredibly bad. Your character moves like its an 18 wheeler stuck in mud.
- Enemy movements are predictable, but because you move still present a challenge.
- Super unclear where to go. Relies heavily on backtracking + poison AOE enemies you have to wait on... slowing your backtracking.

IDK, maybe I'll play some more, but honestly I hate this game.

Jotun is a game that excels at what it advertises from the start, but falls quite short in some areas that feel a bit underdeveloped. For Thunder Lotus Games debut I would say this is a rocky start, but one worth visiting if its strong points interests you.

The strongest point of this game is the hand-drawn artstyle for beautiful levels and boss designs that are heavily based within Norse mythology. It is all very impressive and is what drew me into the game in the first place. There is a lot that is visually stunning and the whole game really has a strong sense of scope, you really feel like a very small part of a giant world before you, especially with monolithic bosses that you're dwarfed entirely by.

But oof, it constantly feels as though you're moving too slow and combat is particularly unengaging, which is a problem when the game is exploring a giant level and then fighting a humongous boss. Reviews are usually pretty lukewarm for a reason, these are usually central parts to a games experience that can turn many people away if it falls even a little short.

This game definitely has problems, but if what I mentioned is of any interest then it may be worth picking up, especially given the shorter playtime and frequent sales.
