Weird holdovers like the 8-directional movement limitation help hammer in Jotun’s PC origins. When I pick up that controller, I’m subconsciously primed for a game that looks triple-A or is trying hard to fake it, not the lush, breathing, hand-drawn illustration of Jotun. Everything about the game is redolent of the best of indie PC gaming, yet here I am running around on my PS4. Jotun on consoles is a strange experience: not bad, just disconcerting.
Even so, Jotun’s gameplay never quite manages to live up to its stunning visuals, and Valhalla mode does little to rectify that. Jotun: Valhalla Edition does nothing to compromise the integral appeal of the game: its lush graphics, incredible atmospherics, authenticity and the epic scale of Norse myth all remain intact. Jotun is a beautiful game, a fact which has been noted as far back as Jotun ’s successful 2014 Kickstarter.
