At its best, Yasha's synergistic possibilities with various weapon abilities bring about intriguing bouts of experimentation - yet it isn't quite enough to rectify the mind-numbingly repetitiveness that plagues the entire game from top to bottom.

The First Berserker: Khazan Review
Neople and Nexon's Soulslike-inspired action RPG set in the DNF universe sadly misses the mark on many of its components with a dull color palette that masks its lovely art style, sluggish combat flow due to its restrictive stamina system, and just doesn't distinguish itself from its many contemporary competitors.

Goro Majima's swashbuckling adventure is a ton of fun to play with some of the series' most thrilling beat 'em up combat and compelling side distractions, despite its messy main narrative.
by Josh Torres on 18 February, 2025

Avowed is a well-written and cohesive fantasy escape that thoughtfully ramps from modest to grandiose, though small bits of uneven execution slightly detract from an otherwise impressive experience.
