You can't trust reviews and ratings. Before playing, I read a lot of positive feedback and then spent several days waiting for the great game everyone praised to actually start. First of all, this is not a soulslike (I know what I'm talking about) - it's Assassin's Creed, but with awful graphics. Secondly, the story is dull with plenty of uninteresting characters. Thirdly, the animations and graphics look like they belong on the PS3 era. Enemies are ridiculously stupid - you can kill three of them just a few meters away, and the others won't even notice. I don't consider Ghost of Tsushima a masterpiece, but compared to this game, Ghost of Tsushima is a masterpiece.

Atmosphere and design: 5 Story: 5 Gameplay: 4 Animation: 1 Graphics: 2 Overall: 4

I would have rated this game a 5, if not for the inflated expectations and all the overly positive reviews.

I really liked the game "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" from this studio. But "Hellblade" I was able to pass. I started it twice and both times I quit playing after a couple of hours. The game didn't pull me in.

Pros: visually attractive, atmospheric.

Cons: very monotonous, not interesting gameplay.

The story did not hook me and, probably, that's why there was no incentive to play further. And the gameplay is really, really boring.

I love "souls-like" games. And "Mortal Shell" was no exception. I got a lot of pleasure from the game.

Pros: great atmosphere, high-quality graphics and excellent technical execution. Cons: not very interesting leveling of the character, the game is short.
