I want this to be one of my favorite games, but there are sections so infuriating that just ruin the experience. Aka fuck sarcophagus.

this game probably has something to say but if it does i must have experienced a lobotomy

Interesting concept and game ideas but the messaging was very blunt and the dialogue and characters were incredibly unengaging, bland, and one dimensional.

One of the worst games I've ever beaten. If there's a game that's able to be finished easily or that I've finished recently, I put it in my log and such but this game is so awful I'm never going back to it. I felt like I was grinding my skull against a buzzsaw for three hours and that was probably more enjoyable.

No other game like this.

probably one of the most unique games i've ever played. such an odd yet addicting dungeon crawler; gameplay, art, narrative, and sound design wise. feels like being dragged through a rusty, decaying nightmare.

tried to pick this up several times but i just dont think this game really clicks with me

2015

Such an incredible mess of a game with a lack of a vision besides copying what was popular and made money.

Masterpiece.

I see the appeal and the story is amazing but the game didn't really capture me. I still think it's an incredibly important game and influenced so many others.

Fun soulslike experience. I found its aesthetic too derivative, although I enjoyed most its unique mechanics like the sanctuary summons system. Some of the bosses are straight up unfair and unbalanced like the Witch of the Lake and bogs the experience down and makes me angry, not in the "I'm bad at this!" kind of way but the "I should've totally won, why did I lose???" way. I still enjoyed my time and I liked all the upgrades and stuff that lean on the metroidvania side. Would recommend if you're a huge soulsborne fan although if you're anything else you won't get as much out of it. I'd say just play From Software's games instead. Would like to give their other game, Charlie Murder, another whirl though.

one of the most beautiful games ever but i just found the gameplay so honk shoo. the story didnt really grip me either, all felt just, whatever. better than the sequel tho
