Beautiful and light
A carefully crafted storybook about a Viking warrior robbed of her chance to go to Valhalla. The gods take pity on her and offer a chance to prove herself: Defeat the Jotun. The game focuses more on worldbuilding with fantastical art style, simple soundtrack, great Icelandic voice-acting, with a splattering of light action game elements to tell the simple story. Each zone, or rune, became a night's bedtime story after a long day, allowing me to be immersed in the mythological world. There are some good puzzles and encounters to challenge players, but the game really shines when letting you take a moment to enjoy a vista, listen to some narration, or be in awe of the completeness of the mythology. This is more like a modern ode to the ancient stories told under the Norse pantheon.
