EA published a good game! This clearly takes some inspiration from soulslikes - and some of that is present - I would draw more comparisons to Tomb Raider, God of War and Unchartered. Very fun.

Pretty innovative FPS roguelite with a cool comicbook artstyle. Not the most difficult or replayable game but interesting.

Ranges from OK to Pretty Bad. Movement is slippery, combat is floaty & clunky, lacking in impact. Boss design suffers from poor telegraphs and artificial difficulty. I couldn’t get into the art style.

Addresses some of the flaws in the original (map design, enemy variation), but still feels underwhelming and repetitive. If you have soulslike withdrawals it’s worth a shot because it has fun moments.

(Reviewed during alpha.) A modern interpretation of Pokémon as an MMO. Runs extremely well, is pretty adorable and relaxing to play. One to watch as content is added.

A gripping narrative-driven mild-action adventure through a dark vision of 14th century France. Really good voice acting, gorgeous visuals. Can drag a little bit at times, but definitely worth it.

Good looking & kinda fun, but not enough to do considering the size of the world. Most of your time will be spent commuting between repetitive and mostly unrewarding quests.

Early Access single or multiplayer third-person shooter roguelike. Done extremely well so far, even more fun with friends. Great music. Feel like the maps need to come alive a bit more.

Prone to performance issues and bugs for some but brilliant for me. Wonderfully executed exploration game with gorgeous visuals, inventive UI (or lack thereof). Just wish it had a bit more motivation.

Uncompromising and obtuse, but intriguing enough to demand going a little deeper. Super atmospheric and great visuals. A little tedious and simplistic overall, but worth a shot.
