In fact, the lore also reminded me to replay Age of Mythology, one of my first introductions to mythology. They are also all told in Icelandic (the closest we have to ancient Nordic today), which is brilliant. These little pieces of lore (including the creation myth) are a brilliant introduction to Nordic mythology and mythology in general. This edutainment is granted in the form of Thora’s descriptions of the God/Goddess Shrines you encounter as well as of various landmarks from Nordic mythology such as the Yggdrasil and Brokkr’s Forge, and other characters such as the four deer from the top branches of the Yggdrasil. As well as these enhancements, you also gain a greater education in Nordic mythology! Huzzah!

Odin has tasked her to travel the five realms branching off from Ginnungagap and find each realm’s rune(s). Her story involves her attempts to impress the gods and earn her place in Valhalla. In the game, you follow the story of Thora, named after the god of thunder himself. However, there is the question as to whether Jotun succeeds as a fully-fledged game or just an interact-able storybook. This is all while providing some epic boss fights and stunning visuals.
