Jotun: Valhalla Edition

Metacritic

Jotun is a hand-drawn action-exploration game set in Norse mythology. In Jotun, you play Thora, a Viking warrior who died an inglorious death and must prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. Impress the Gods!

Jotun runs flawlessly through Rosetta 2 on all Apple Silicon Macs, providing a 'console-quality' experience with virtually no configuration required.

What the world thinks

Purchase and Install: Buy the game via Steam or GOG. Both platforms provide the macOS version.
Initial Launch: Control-click the application in your Applications folder and select 'Open' for the first run to bypass local security prompts if necessary.
Rosetta: If you haven't installed Rosetta 2 yet, macOS will prompt you to do so. Agree to the installation to allow the Intel-based binary to run on your M1/M2/M3/M4 chip.
In-Game Settings: Go to the 'Options' menu. You can safely set the resolution to your display's native maximum and toggle all visual effects to High.

CrossOver / Whiskey: While possible to run the Windows version using these translation layers, there is no practical benefit since the native Mac port is stable and performant. Use these only if you have a specific Windows-only mod you wish to attempt.
Parallels Desktop: Not recommended. The overhead of a virtual machine is unnecessary for this title and may lead to input lag during critical boss fights.
