#Jotun valhalla edition xbox one Patch#
I hope the guys at Thunder Lotus Games will get a patch on that front because it truly ruins the experience. With an average of 30 seconds and sometimes more, this would’ve been ok with another game, but considering Jotun: Valhalla Edition relies on a lot of die-and-retry mechanics, it gets annoying after a bunch of death. Yet, it seems that the game could use some fine-tuning in term of memory management, as Jotun: Valhalla Edition takes triple the amount of loading time as the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions. I will though precise that some scene in the game though with an elevated camera angle can reduce our heroin Thora to a tiny dot on the screen, but these instances are quite rare and usually not deadly battles. The texture is crisp, highly detailed, and the gameplay is precise in term of input-lag with Joy-Con. If you want to be precise about the result of the game rendering on the Nintendo Switch, then you’ll be happy to hear that it’s on par with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions. the Nintendo Switch obviously is already a good and natural platform-oriented console, and allow you to enjoy this on the go. You see, Jotun: Valhalla Edition is still beautiful to play on the Nintendo console.
Since I finished the game on Xbox One, my sole focus for this review was the technical aspect of the port on the Nintendo Switch, which is a mixed result for me.
If the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 edition of the game was already an “enhanced” edition of the original PC title, the game on Nintendo Switch is similar to its console compatriots. If you want a more detailed review of the game, then don’t hesitate to scroll down to read it, based on my original review on Xbox One.
