J Station X writes "Jotun is a game far spired by Team Icos Shadow of the Colossus than it is by the soaring wave of popularity surrounding Thor. The games lead is a Norse woman for one and the fact that her name is Thora in a time when Marvel have decided to make Thors comics counterpart a woman (also named Thor) is a happy coincidence Im told, but in all honesty, the similarities end there. Thora wields a mahoosize blade from the get-go and gameplay is a mix between death-defying feats of wit, bravery and willpower against giants (those would be the Jotun then) and puzzles that see you embrace runes, shrines and the gods of Norse mythology as Thora fights her way out of Purgatory and into Valhalla. So with that enough to whet my axe-wielding appetite I decided to talk to the games designer, Will Dubé, to find out more."
