As time moves inexorably on, we are equally unable to stop Epic from throwing free games at us, and this week it's Jotun: Valhalla Edition—not to be confused with Bad North: Jotunn Edition, which was free a fortnight ago.

I got Jotun for free on Steam for some reason a long time ago and, despite it looking very handsome, I never got around to playing. This is unlikely to change, but it's nice to know that I've got the option if I suddenly find myself with free time and an itch for a viking yarn. Two options, now.

It does look lovely, though. Check out the trailer below.

Next week, you'll be able to break out of prison, or at least attempt to, when The Escapists sheds its price.

Fraser is the UK online editor and has actually met The Internet in person. With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long or talking about his dog.
