If you have played the Wii U version, you will notice a visual upgrade, as the Switch version of Jotun is on par with the other versions, but by no means is it made for Switch. The short answer is, Jotun: Valhalla Edition is as good as its previous incarnations, but don’t expect too much from it. But, will it be as good the second time around on a Nintendo platform? Clearly, my long awaited wish did come true (fingers crossed Sundered will get the same treatment,) as Jotun: Valhalla Edition is out on Switch this April. More than that though, if it wasn’t for SteamWorld Heist, Jotun: Valhalla Edition would have been my favourite indie game for the Wii U and a Switch port is something I have been wanting ever since the Wii U version released. Growing up in the UK, Norse cultures and their beliefs was something that popped up during History lessons, so it was great to be able to play something that took what I learned a long time ago and presented it all in a much more enjoyable means of brushing up on it/learning.


Having handled the Wii U review of Jotun: Valhalla Edition myself, I was immediately take by Jotun’s illustrated graphics and inspiration. So, if a loved one wanted to watch their favourite soap and you wanted to play, the both of you could get your way, without either one of you having to leave the room. Granted the Nintendo version couldn’t graphically compare against the Sony and Microsoft ones, it did however support off- TV play, thanks to the Wii U GamePad. In the year that followed though, Jotun would reach new heights thanks to the addition of a new mode, a rebranded title and a release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Wii U.
