    Thank you so much for the review! We are glad that you liked it and hope players will also. Yes we had a strong focus on the main characters and the emotions they represent and also the art direction and atmosphere of the experience.

    It looks beautiful but I was worried going in that it was going to get very repetitive and that's kind of the vibe that I'm getting with this review. This feels like a really nice template and I hope that Embers builds off of it in a future game.

      The game is not full priced. Imo its worth what I spent for it.

      There's not that many regular enemies between bosses, 10 between each at most so it's not as repetitive as they make it seem. Besides these regular enemies are also challenging and fun to fight so there's no issue imo

    Looks pretty, has a nice soundtrack, and gameply is at least serviceable? Honestly, sounds like a good time despite weak fodder enemies.
    Thank you for the review!

    I might get this. This is a classic example of a game that sure, it might not be the best, but you can see the strong potential.

    I'm all for shorter, snappier 4-6 hour games. Seems like a lot of games collapse in on themselves trying bulk out their playtime with collectathons, RPG tack-on systems and shallow side-missions.
    Hopefully games you can finish in less than a week start to thrive a bit more.

      Personally I'm of the opposite opinion. If games are going to start costing $70 then I want my money's worth out lf them.

    Looks heavily influenced by Sekiro with posture and deathblows.

    Let’s all be honest and call it like it is: this is a tech demo from Embers, which if we see it that way, is an objective success. Wanna build a big game but don’t have interest from investors or a big name publisher? Build something small showing you have good ideas and could translate them to a AAA title. I see it that way because there is no voice acting, and the characters are “formless” in a way. It allows a creative director to see this and tell the publisher “imagine our characters or IP on this framework.”

    Looks super repetitive.. I’m glad they didn’t try getting $60 from it… $25 isn’t bad but if it ever drops to $10 I might try it out

    Mind boggling that they decided to include fodder enemies instead of focusing just on the boss fights, like the actual good games this one clearly took inspiration from.
