Even if you decided not to finish games 100%, I feel that at this point you're easily the most trustworthy person out there. It's like listening to a gamer, not a salesman or someone paid to do their job and be done with it, giving your thoughts on things relevant to an average person. I would love to listen to your opinions on other games that you have not maxed out, but maybe had interest in, too. Personally I almost never bother with 100% in games and hopefully you won't burn yourself out by commiting to it so passionately, you're simply the best and your voice is a cherry on top. Thank you so much!

Great review, only thing I'd say is as someone who love souls-like something about this just really hit a specific itch for me that puts it in my top few in terms of combat at least. The way they balanced the plague weapons and certain specs like deflection made it really fun. Unlike a lot of souls-like that use a non-regen mana bar or consumables/limited casts for their 'magic' or 'special attacks', having it regenerate just made it easier to use them as opposed to hoarding the uses. Definitely a sale buy just based on length though.

Great review. Only thing I slightly disagree with it is tweaking the bosses. I liked the fact that some play styles work really well or not at all against bosses. Usually i find a style and stick with it. But this game forced me to experiment and i love that. And I don't mind bosses being to easy with certain strategies. Most indie devs when doing souls likes fall in to that "outdoing the original" and make some bosses unenjoyably hard. If you're not an expert like from soft, I'd rather they make it less challenging than more...

I watched this video to see if I could stand a chance of playing this. After several thousand hours of Remnant from the Ashes, I can probably beat this game. Whenever I see "souls-like" I hesitate because I've seen so many rage quit compilations (LIke Seikiro). I never really made it far in Dark Souls. This game doesn't look too complicated, I think you would enjoy the variety and difficulty of Remnant from the Ashes. People say it's "Dark Souls with Guns" but I don't really see the similarity. Since you can time your rolls, I think you would get near god level rolling in that game. Thank you for the review. That last fight in the video looked like Soul Caliber lol

(I am currently stuck on the last boss lol) Great review, I agree with the bugs and if it was any longer it would get repetitive like my experience with the first Nioh, definitely DNF'ed that game.

It's an enjoyable game but my problem with it is that it gets really repetitive ( since it's really long ) and unlike a game like tw3 , it's not carried by its writing for all its length

About the level design: Is there how much exploration or are the levels more linear with shortcuts? How about the verticality of the leves, are there any platforming? Exploration is quite a big deal for me, if the game feels like you are walking down a linear corridor then the game mechanisms have to be top notch in contrast to if the levels are open and there are lots of things to find, as then even a mediocre game can enthrall me (Hellpoint is one the best Souls-likes for me because of this reason).
@a0ras

its pretty linear, you dont even need the shortcuts I mean.. the game is 4-8 hours at max, the exploration is mostly for lore, buch of text based items, imagine darksouls level design but very budget DS level design (sorry devs but it is what it is) if you want exploration I wouldn't really recommend it but at least the combat is pretty decent

Is as linear as you can get: The game is composed of disconnected maps that you hop in and out from the hub area, and each is unlocked sequentially and so do the quest each has. Each quest drops you in a section of their map that you couldn't have access to before, and close to the end of each you unlock a shortcut to previous quest areas, though by then there's little to explore in those sections. Levels, regardless of their structure, are straightforward and same-y visually. The only reason you stray from your path is to collect notes, which are both the primary if not exclusive source of narrative in the game and at times the source of defined recipes to improve your healing potions (potions get an extra bonus effect if you have an specific herb combinaton for them, though you can brute force combinations until you get them). There's no sense of verticality beyond going up or down stairs to different floors, and no platforming.

I think it's pronounced "tee-meh-sia". Well that's how I've been pronouncing it anyway. Anyway I have been following this game for a while before its released and I was semi-impressed with how it turned out. Usually I think trying to create a very true to form Soulslike is not a good idea, as you're essentially chasing a company that has already perfected this formula (not even big companies have managed to come close to the FromSoftware titles), but I for an indie game I was surprised at how solid it was. For a studio of this very small size (from what I recall, it's made by 7 people from Taiwan) and I assume a pretty small budget (this is an indie game, definitely not AA), I was surprised at how decent the feel of the combat and the animation work was. Yeah, some animations almost look like carbon copies of their FromSoft counterparts, but I still think it's impressive work. A lot of games from mainland China or Taiwan often look good in screenshots, but feel very clunky when you actually play them. There's countless action semi-RPGs from the region on Steam, and most of them have high-quality assets but pretty bad game-feel. Thymesia, oddly enough, feels pretty good to me. Is it essential? Nah. Is it good? Pretty much, yeah. I think it's better than titles such as Ashen or Mortal Shell.

Much like Thymesia, its a mixed bag. Hands down some of the most visually stunning soulslike levels out there, and Hardening is one of the most unique combat features added to a soulslike. Beyond that though... the game progressive falters in quality. On its particular case, the game is short, its grinding-heavy on healing items, and despite the shell system is also a mixed bag itself it fails hard because there's a shell that far better than the rest which dissentivices experimentation, Hardening is so good that parrying isn't worth using, and few of the bosses are genuinly enjoyable. It knew what it was doing, especially for first timer project with few devs, but ultimately is remembered more for what could've been given better conditions and how hyped it was months prior to its release (at least from the Demo onwards, which mind you was an excellent demo).
