April 2025
Dark Souls meets Diablo meets Doom. Slash and hack your way through the land of the dead facing monsters through the fire and brimstone. Everything a dungeon crawler should feel like without any unduly complex extras. Here's the thing, a game (as an adult) should be 1) Good and 2) Short. These games that claim over 50+ hours worth of content require you to sit there for over 2 days' worth of time. I can't do that anymore. I need something that knows what it's doing and does it for less than 10 hours. Robocop is like that. This is too.

Elderborn is almost a good game. It's got most of the ingredients that would require, such as strong visuals, tight gameplay, and varied enemies. But the placement of those enemies is so terrible and ill-conceived that it basically ruins the entire game.

Very satisfying combat! Getting bullet time on a successful parry feels great, and so does launching foes with a heavy swing of the hammer. However, the game is very short. Only took me 5 hours to beat the campaign. Therefore, I'd recommend it if you can get it for $5-10. I wish it was much longer!

ELDERBORN is kinda like Dark Souls and DOOM had a little badass low-poly baby raised by an indie studio that provided metal music and monster energy drinks instead of milk. And it's simple. You charge in with a sword, hacking through enemies like you're auditioning for a Viking metal band, with the combat satisfying enough to be borderline therapeutic. The story? It’s there, but honestly, who cares when you’re too busy cleaving las esqueletos and smashing sh*t? If you’ve ever wanted to feel like the world’s angriest barbarian with a little buzz and a caffeine high, this is a game. 8.5/10 would swing axe again.

might be the only first person souls game on steam that i am aware of and have played but i decided to try it out since it was dirt cheap for the summer sale. safe to say, it's badass. the combat is fun, the environments are cool, the music is awesome (probably my favorite part), and the combat flows well. it brings plenty of souls aspects together while also seeming to take some inspiration from the doom games in the way that it's layed out, as well as how the enemies attack and what not. the story is ok, nothing too crazy but you can find some lore scattered around that provides a little more depth of what's going on. overall, the bosses were fun and it was a fast paced blast to playthrough and once again, a first person soulslike game which is uncommon and unique. if you're into souls games, this one isn't long and it's unique in the genre. the music is awesome to blast at full volume and overall the game is a gem! recommended, especially on a deep sale.
