Metacritic: 82
OpenCritic: 81

Sounds like a big win for a non-FROM soulslike game.


Available September 19th on all platforms. Day One Game Pass for PC/Xbox.

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm looking forward to it. Demo was fun, but I'm hoping they polished up the combat a bit more.

 

[Duchess]

It's now a Mighty on OpenCritic.

 

[skit_data]

Lol, I just posted in the "goes Gold"-thread because I couldn't find a review thread.

Surprised about the lack of hype around this, what I played of the demo felt pretty solid.

 

[zapper]

It's early since few reviews have come out, but I expected much less. honestly from the demo and videos I have always classified it as a 7 title, at most. i'm surprised

 

[MikeM]

GP so will give it a go on PC at release.

 

[64bitmodels]

It's now a Mighty on OpenCritic.

i fuckin love that super strong mighty icon on opencritic. every time i see it, i imagine an announcer shouting "MIGHTY!!"
unfortunately the game is back down to strong, now. fuckin negative reviews...

 

[Fbh]

The reviews seem consistent with my experience with the demo.
Solid but extremely derivative.

 

[The Cockatrice]

The tl;dr is competent souls-like, very linear level design with a bit of verticality, around 30 hours, very copy-pasted stuff from Dark Souls/Bloodborne which may not sit well with some because it has no identify/originality, mostly easy combat with some challening bosses. It's 60 euros so, not sure, maybe I'll get it cheap off cdkeys or fanatical but I still have Starfield, Shadow Gambit, CP2077 expansion coming soon as well...maybe I'll hold off, dunno.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Looking forward to it regardless of the review scores. I played enough of the demo to know I want to play more even though I haven't finished a Souls-like since Demon Souls...lol

 

[MiguelItUp]

Nice! Looking forward to giving this a shot! I love the look and vibe of it all, especially the whole "twisted take on Pinocchio" thing. It just feels so random and out there, lol.

 

[Codes 208]

Hopefully this will wake sony up to how thirsty we are for more bloodborne

 

[GHG]

Solid wait for sale game it looks like.

Good first effort from the studio though, they will have a solid foundation to work on for their next game.

 

[Bartski]

 

[F0rneus]

IGN 8? Oh yeahhh! Gamespot 8? OH YEAHHH!

 

[tmlDan]

79 MC is what i see.

Thats how i felt when i played it, people said they fixed the dodge but it was horrible

 

[winjer]

I will definitely try it on gamepass.

 

[adamsapple]

Off to a decent start.

Will check this out on game pass post-Starfield, see how difficult this one of these is.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Good reviews.

Too close to Starfield so will get to it in a month or two.

 

[Punished Miku]

Good reviews.

Too close to Starfield so will get to it in a month or two.

I think I can schedule it in sometime in February.

 

[mejin]

Solid enough and free on GP!

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I think I can schedule it in sometime in February.

Not that far for me.

Asked a friend for coop run. That fixes a time table.

 

[Wingnut]

What score did Metro gave?

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Hmmm, was the combat feel reworked since the demo? Main issue I had with it and in a game all about combat encounters that's a deal breaker, one to eventually get on sale I think.

 

[Del_X]

Sea of Stars, Starfield, Lies of P - pretty solid last few weeks for Game Pass.

 

[Virex]

Can't wait for my copy to arrive next week. Hopefully sooner like my Starfield. Hope the platinum isn't too grueling

 

[amigastar]

Game Pass you say? I'm gonna check it out then.

 

[Lokaum D+]

day one on gamepass, lets goo

 

[lughnasadh123]

Really solid score for a AA souls knockoff. Seems like this and hopefully Lords of the Fallen will be some much needed entries to expand the field a bit. Sign me up.

 

[FingerBang]

I am surprised to see this game score so well. There was something off with the fighting system when I tried the demo, but it was overall enjoyable. I expected to score in the mid 70s.

I'll definitely play it in the future

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I really dig the asthetics of this game. The music/environment sfx also set a really somber tone and the enemy animations really sell the puppets/tin man design choice.

Also...gotta' support all the "multi-channel entertainment properties" Timothée Chalamet is in....they will need it after Wonka implodes. /s

 

[Virex]

Seems like a lot of reviewers are saying the game is extremely well optimised as well. Can't fucking cunt fuck shit wait till next fucking week to play this. Hopefully my copy arrives early.

 

[rofif]

Demo was weightless and annoying.
I am willing to try full game maybe

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

7.5 - 8 score is a win for this title. i'll possibly play it down the road, it looked interesting for sure.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Nice!

Tried the demo but the combat didn't sell itself to me. So atm skipping this title.

 

[R6Rider]

Very nice. After playing the demo it locked it in as a definite purchase for me.

 

[Sanepar]

Well well good reviews.

 

[GymWolf]

Waiting to see more footage of fallen to decide what game to pick up between the 2.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Gamepass again..this year has been insane for it.

Will deffo play this.

 

[Tg89]

Might give it another go but yeah the demo completely missed the mark in terms of the combat feel imo.

 

[Bartski]

Waiting to see more footage of fallen to decide what game to pick up between the 2.

 

[Nankatsu]

This should be good.

 

[Punished Miku]

Will deffo play this.

I really hope Cocoon delivers too.

 

[GymWolf]

It is gonna sound strange but elden ring kinda burned me out of the genre, normally i would be way more hyped for both games but i can see myself buying them when they are in hard discount when i have nothing else to play.

 

[Fabieter]

The feel of the movement and the animation felt off.

 

[Lux R7]

good, i enjoyed the demo, can't wait to start playing

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I don't get it. The combat and character movement is the heart and, well pun intended maybe, soul of these games. The demo wasn't good at any of it.

I just stuffed my gullet at the All You Can Eat buffet of Souls that is Elden Ring, don't need any of this personally.

PS: I think The Surge is underrated and better than all of the other Souls copies.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Elden Ring was like having someone serve me the best steak in town...and then continue to do it several more times while I'm shitting.

 

[GC_DALBEN]

So many games, so little time

 

[Negotiator101]

Sea of Stars, Starfield, Lies of P - pretty solid last few weeks for Game Pass.

Solid being a massive understatement, and more to come!
