Sept. 2025

Thumbs up, but on a sale. This game grew on me, a lot, between finishing most of the story and clearing up all the achievements before finishing the final section. Positives: When there aren't any bugs or glitches (it does happen occasionally), it plays pretty smooth with a little bit of clearly janky hitboxes. The world looks acceptable, it's about your average mid budget game world, nothing that really stands out, but it's not bad either. The bosses are ok, but not that difficult, for the most part they are on the easier side of souls-like bosses. I have found the sidekick character, Boji, to be acceptable, he isn't annoying, Farren, the main character however, that is a different story. The interactions between Boji and Farren can be rather sweet at times, but the quality of the writing is so inconsistent. The exploration is good, it's probably the best designed part of the entire game, there are a lot of little hidden secrets around and they are all useful. Negatives: The main character, Farren is the most annoying, insufferable character I've seen in a game for a long time. It ranges from pointing at things in the world constantly instead of letting you explore for yourself to feeling like he/she is someone's personal trauma dump. This character alone is everything wrong with storytelling in modern games in one single character. Just make your protagonist silent instead, it's at least better than making them come across as obnoxious and annoying. Weird bugs, I've had so many of the execution animations glitch out and have either me or the enemy float high up in the air while I'm attacking an invisible target in the little cutscene. The item tooltip constantly remains on the screen after doing any inventory management, forcing you to open and close the inventory an extra time just to make it go away. There are so many times where the ground collision is just off and you get stuck on things for no reason. There is no build crafting what so ever in this game. You will just unlock everything over time, the only real choice you have is what type of weapon you run, except not even that really, you are forced to master all of them just to unlock the skill points, so you will spend a whole lot of time playing with weapons you don't want to use, huge L design. Conclusion: It isn't perfect, and some things are actually a bit broken, but none of those things are game breaking bugs that I have found so far. When I'm done collecting all the achievements, I'm sure I've found more, it just feels like it based on my experience so far. The story and the main character just get in the way constantly and I would have given a lot more of a favorable review if neither were a thing and it was a silent and atmospheric adventure instead. I do enjoy a well told story and well written characters, but this ain't it chief. Buy it on sale if you want to play it. Just don't expect perfection. There are a lot of flaws, but none that would put me off from recommending it.

A really enjoyable game - expansive and fun to play. Almost everything was done right (Devs, please give us ability to skip death scene)

This is a decent indie soulslike. Good art, fun level exploration, good enough combat once you get the hang of it (a lot of parries to break poise). It does have a bit of jank (and occasional UE stutter) and might be a touch long for my tastes. But worth it at full price for the amount of game here and a good deal on sale.

A bit rough around the edges but all in all worth the money, especially because its constantly on sale.
