    I dreamt of the next Dark Messiah of Might & Magic and I got Elderborn. It has been a long time since I spent two nights in a row playing a game and there’s only multiplayer mode that’s lacking here. [04/2020, p.56]

    Elderborn is almost a good game. It's got most of the ingredients that would require, such as strong visuals, tight gameplay, and varied enemies. But the placement of those enemies is so terrible and ill-conceived that it basically ruins the entire game. That along with a third act that feels like the game just gives up do a whole lot to damage what could have been a very compelling experience.

Take away DARK SOULS' superb level design, dark fantasy atmosphere and exquisite storytelling and add a bright neon color palette and you have ELDERBORN. The graphics reminded me of UNDERWORLD: ASCENSION (and that is NOT good!).
    The souls mechanics are here, too: every enemy can kill you in a few hits, you need to manage your stamina - so far so good, those are good mechanics. But then you have the stupid mechanics where enemies are rooted into a fixed location, once you rest (fountains are ELDERBORN's bonfires) they all respawn. Not a fan of this! At least they did away with the "souls" system.
    This game is average at best. I did not care for the graphics and art style.    … Full Review »

    Everything about this game screams unfinished. Everything is tedious and clunky, from annoying traps, to floaty controls, to tutorial messagesEverything about this game screams unfinished. Everything is tedious and clunky, from annoying traps, to floaty controls, to tutorial messages that stop the game. And they knew it's bad because as a last-ditched effort they made the default character a poster girl for a certain political movement.… Full Review »
