It's a little thing, but this completely robs the surprise of that moment for everyone else. Not to mention footage here shows literally everything in the whole DLC minus the final final boss fight.

    This comment is kinda off-topic from all the other ones, but does anyone else think the person presenting the review has a weird voice? Like, it sounds like the voice is being altered or something.

    Never thought I’d see IGN review another Deadcells after that whole fiasco
