    Despite the very creative and inspired art direction, the game is absolutely, brutally, painfully raw and buggy.

    This is not just "janky". It's simply brutally buggy and painful to try and play.

    This is not just "janky". It's simply brutally buggy and painful to try and play. The first few hours were much much better, and then later areas are simply unbearably buggy, with issues that either kill you or force you to respawn or simply waste tons of your time with no meaningful gameplay or reward in-between. 2/10 for the great art direction, but it's simply not in a playable, marketable state.    … Expand

    Bleak Faith: Forsaken has a lot of potential, and the developers seem dedicated to updating the game, so it's possible that a lot of this review will be outdated in a few months. At the moment, it's a testament to the difficulty of making a good Soulslike. All of the pieces are there, but they don't fit together properly, which exacerbates the genre flaws more significantly than any other type of game on the market. Bleak Faith has some strengths if you're willing to work past its flaws, but it doesn't stand out among the absolute glut of similar titles on the market.

    Bleak Faith Forsaken’s screenshots are impressive. The game’s art direction and atmosphere suggest an oppressive future world, but Bleak Faith Forsaken is all window dressing. Behind the façade, a seriously unpolished Soulslike filled with broken dreams awaits.

    Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a game with incredible potential. It makes up for technical issues with surreal environments and horrific enemy designs, but its core gameplay suffers from heavy focus on Souls-like mechanics and common deaths. It still needs time to resolve those problems, but if the devs make use of that time with continued updates and support, faith in this game's greatness might not be so bleak after all.
