cool survival game concept and well executed

amazingly fun game. if youve never played a fromsoft rpg do yourself a favor and abandon everything you've heard about them. don't go into this expecting it to be crushingly hard. just play it like a regular video game and use every tool at your disposal. make throwing items to pull enemies one at a time, throw explosives at enemies, dual wield giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hammers: do whatever you need to or want to in order to win. you'll have a million times more fun than if you go into this with some kind of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up expectation of ball torture or whatever it is reddit told you this game was about.

literally all of the voice acting in this game annoyed me. the VAs probably did a good job of it, but I'll never be able to objectively judge that because the decision to make it so whenever an NPC gets dialogue they just interject one of their three canned quips that aren't the slightest bit related to what the characters are saying completely soured me on literally everything the characters had to say. Completely baffled by the decision when literally silence (aka no effort from the dev team) is an obviously better alternative to having a waif cosplaying as a sci-fi linebacker growl "I'M MAD!" 2/3s of the time literally any dialogue from her shows up on screen.

Also they're half-fixing the coop but like coop progression has been a solved problem for a decade so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up out the gate leaves me with little faith that this game will actually get the support it needs. Maybe I'll be wrong and a year from now it rules. we'll see!

Decently fun to play but drags a bit in the end and the story is super telegraphed and frankly dumb.

Great followup to Warband.

Excellent game overall. Without spoiling anything, all I will say is go in expecting things not to be as they seem. The developer of this game has previously done things such as hide the true endings of his game inside easter eggs in other games, so that's the kind of mind behind Inscryption. I had a blast the whole way through, though. Lots of different strategies to try out.

Excellent compact game. It has a clear visual style and message, and the gameplay is incredibly tight and fun. Also the soundtrack is a seriously good album in its own right. Strongly recommend playing.
