The Eternal Die is a fantastic Roguelite with really polished gameplay and interesting combinations of weapons, upgrades and card-abilities. The NPCs are also incredible charming and quirky. I love the shopkeeper, and many of the others but the Rug Reader is probably my favorite.

It has similarities to Hades of course, like most roguelikes these days, but I see that more as a compliment than a negative. The combat actually feels juicier than Hades to me, which is very high praise. Don't miss out on this one if you are a fan of the genre!

Great demo of a really chill and satisfying gameloop. Looking forward to the full release!

The artstyle for this game is absolutely gorgeous, but I also loved how hard the sound hits on some of the weapons. It's pretty hard even for experienced roguelike players. Looking forward to the full release!

This demo really shows promise, I had a lot of fun with the different upgrades and builds. The game looks and plays great, so very much looking forward to the full release!

A fantastic sequel that provides new and interesting mechanics while keeping the best parts of the original game. The soundtrack is fantastic and the graphics is a huge step forward for the series.

A fun and fast-paced game with a lot of enemies coming at you all at once. Haven't had a chance to test the MP-part yet but it seems like a game that should be really fun with friends.

One of the best games I've ever played. The exploration is awe-inspiring, there is always more things to find. The variety of builds, weapons, talismans and spells has made me come back to it again and again during the year, and I am very much looking forward to any DLC or additional content.

There are things that are great about Lost Ark.
The combat is responsive and polished, it feels good to bash stuff into oblivion.
The skill system is interesting and allows for varied builds, and the world is beautiful and wast.
But the reason I can't recommend it is that Lost Ark spends most of it's time and energy on stuff that does not feel or look great. Like the repetitive quests, the unengaging and boring story and the enormous amount of subsystems that feel complicated and convoluted without contributing much to the enjoyment of the game.

In short, it feels like a game lacking a solid identity, and I've found myself getting more and more frustrated with it because it insists on not letting me fight monsters.

My favorite Soulsborne game, for many reasons. The level design and world building, the exploration and the wide variety of builds available makes me come back to it again and again. I still find new things, and rediscover things I've forgotten from earlier playthroughs. It's one of my favorite games of all time, and if you haven't played a Souls game yet I highly recommend it as a starting point.

Was just going to give it a try and now it's nine hours later and I haven't eaten dinner yet.
