In combat, Thora has a light attack, a heavy charged attack, and her god abilities that you’ll unlock by praying at statues of the gods. Outside of their impressive stature and incredible animation they all offer a fun and finely-tuned challenge.Įven though she is barely visible, you never lose control of Thora. It is those boss fights against the titular jotun that make the game worth playing though. It’s a shame because Jotun’s ability to scale its art from a close-up on the player character to an enormous vista or towering boss encounter that dwarves her on screen is stunning. Once you’ve taken in the art–which, admittedly, is striking and unique in each area–it begins to wear on you as you slog through the maze-like levels with little to do outside of avoiding environmental hazards. It mostly serves as a distraction where you can find useful new abilities for use in the boss fights. Exploring the varied environments can be interesting, and is often breathtaking, but where the game falters is in providing a compelling gameplay reason to navigate these areas. You explore the five areas inside Ginnungagap that each house a different jotun, enormous elemental giants that reside at the end of the areas you’ll be trekking through. When she dies an inglorious death, she is cast into the void called Ginnungagap where she must again strive to prove herself, this time to the gods so that she can reach Valhalla and live up to the standards she feels she’s failed to meet. Hers is a journey for acceptance and validation, the former from her father as a proven warrior and the latter as the younger sister living in her brother’s shadow.
You play as Thora, a woman whose life is defined by her father naming her for the god of thunder. and in other countries.Rarely is Thora this close, but her hand-drawn style is consistent with all the art in the game.
