GR:
Gods bless you.
I love an engaging narrative. Although a good story at the forefront of any game should be a base requirement, it’s only so often that we’re treated to one. Yet overall narrative extends beyond the main plot and characters—it offers a world to explore and familiarize yourself with. In games devoted to exploration or which have the time to devote to extensive exposition, this is easier to deliver. But in an action game composed of a handful of levels and a few bosses, this challenge increases. Jotun (pronounced “YOH-tuhn”), set in its own interpretation of Norse mythology, succeeded in this delivery. Along with its other well-implemented elements, it’s a quality work of expression.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "Hello and welcome to the second installment of Video Game Music Spotlight. For those who didn't see the first one, this is an article series focused on highlighting some of the best video game music, one unifying theme at a time. Last time the theme was the old west. This time, seeing as we're rapidly approaching Christmas, I thought it would be good to cover something seasonally appropriate."
