I’d rather be spanked by Gwyn than by Donald and Goofy in Kingdom Hearts. Some, our editor-in-chief Alexx for example, don’t and that’s ok. I like the idea of throwing myself at the wall, time and time again, with only bits of either it or I falling off each time until one of us breaks. Now, if you’ve listened to me talk for the last several months, you’ll know I bow at the hilt of the Souls / Borne / Sekiro series waiting to be spanked. That’s what I want to highlight with Jotun, it is that idea of Dark Souls but with another twist. Ok, that joke is fairly important because both games take Norse mythology, and both have a Dark Souls take and make it accessible. Jotun is a game about the other gods, the ones Kratos last had a big argument with after that whole business with traveling through the nine realms and killing everything. Jotun: Valhalla Edition, a game about the messianic age where everyone sits about loving life, there’s no apocalypse, and you don’t have to kill anything. Well, well enough to use well three times to confuse your brain a little and just move on. Then again, last week’s article was put together hastily following the Thanksgiving blob that engulfs America and threw a wrench in our plans at the time. One minute I was there writing about Codemasters and BABYMETAL, the next minute it was Thursday morning and I was playing a bit of this week’s game before it was free on the Epic Games Store. Well, this week crept up on me out of nowhere.
