The combat is not as good as it should be for a souls like, but the level design is very good. I really enjoy the world building and overall visuals, I never thought data-fantasy was something i wanted until i saw this game. Please give this game a shot if you see it on sale, it is full of performance issues and bugs that can get frustrating at times and will leave you feeling cheated if you buy it full price. Despite the bugs and mediocre combat, its one of my personal favorite games to come back to replay.

Ok, after playing an additional 18 hours of this, and being on track to finish the game i feel the need to rewrite this review. Originally i did not recommend this because the irksome 2d sections which did nothing but aggrevate me by forcefully locking the camera. and then comming to the open world section that really tanked my FPS to below 50 on a high end system that ran everything on a sweet 144fps till then. those grievances still stand, and luckily after playing the open world some more, it's not constantly below 50 fps, just in certain spots looking at certain directions. However what made me turn this to a thumbs up is because the story is just so interesting to me and it got me hooked. and the visuals also are quite charming. if you're on the fence, get it on a sale and there's a good chance you won't regret it in the end.

Seeing a lot of negative reviews, sadly putting this game just and just into "mixed" tier, most of the negative reviews do have valid criticism of the negatives this game has, but I urge you especially on the 2025 summer sale in which the game only costs 2.50€, I urge you to give it a try. Keep your expectations in check when going in, but when you accept that this game is a product of a passionate team that took a tad bit too large of a challenge to create a game this size, you will find a lot of passion, art, character, and one of the most fun and beautiful world and exploration I have experienced. It really invokes a primal feeling to having to explore outside of the given path, and letting you totally do so. Also the character portraits are insanely beautiful. I am quite taken a back by how under the radar this game has gone. it even has a hoverboard.

June 2025

Did I have fun with this game? Yes. Does that make it a good game? Not neccessarily. Pros: *Gorgeous design and breathtaking world *Brilliant level design, lots of interconnectivity and clever platforming sections. As a rule: if something kinda looks like it could maybe be a path somewhere? It's absolutely a path and there will be something at the end. *Lots of secrets to find *Solid game, I only encountered one glitch, and not a gamebreaking one *Memorable bosses, but simple enough to learn that it never gets frustrating Cons: *Severe, and I meand SEVERE, lack of enemy variety, you'll fight the same 5-6 dudes the entire game. *Basic combat. Functional, but uninteresting. If combat is what draws you into a game this is not for you. Get this game for the exploration aspect, the experience of hanging out in this world for a bit and learn its secrets.

TL;DR: If you have ever wonder what was beyond the grassy hills background in old Windows, or in the glowy buildings in Tron, you will love this. If you enjoy exploring and trying to break games, this is a must If you are going to compare it to Elden Ring… Probably wont like it I think this is an amazing game. I think it is everything people complain triple A games lack nowadays. It has a soul to it, each level is beautifully crafted by someone with a passion for these games. Exploration and going “out of bounds”, goat hopping like you are trying to climb to High Hrothgar, clever pathing and skipping sections… It is all acknowledged by the game, and very often reward. Cyberpunk devs patted themselves in the back endlessly for that little message on top of a building. While in shattered I will keep trying to break the game only to be greeted by items and lore in places I thought were unreachable. The game looks beautiful, and it brings back that desire to explore, to truly enjoy the open world, without ruining it by having a narrow path you have to follow, and locking all the interesting stuff behind close doors. Almost everything in Shattered is accesible from the start. The gameplay feels inspired to me, they clearly did not have the capacity for quantity (see the infamous weapon moveset reviews), but they made up for it in quality. The game switches from 3d to 2d from time to time on key locations, which to me keeps gameplay fresh, alternating souls combat, with gimmick fights, parkour, and even a weird Rainbow Road racing course? It just drips with passion and love for gamemaking And the lore… The writing is stellar, intriguing, reminiscent of other souls while also having its own clear identity, instead of re-skinned Gwyn and Capra Demon. Thank you to the developers, you are a gift to the industry, and deserve better than having your game compared with titles that had 20 years of development with 50000 employees working on soulless content.
