    Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn takes the weighty feel of a Soulslike and adds mechanics that allow constant flexibility and experimentation. It also engagingly tells an interesting narrative without breaking the flow of the gameplay.

    Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an incredibly unique title, with a remarkably interesting world and great twists on classic gameplay to keep you captivated as you gun down (or chop apart) the undead horde.

    Flint and steel accompanied by some otherworldly magic of rogue gods. This is what defines the death-infested and movement-dependent world of Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn. A “soulslite” title from the creators of Ashen doesn’t really innovate on the action-adventure RPG genre but presents players with unique and captivating setting, neat combat mechanics, epic soundtrack and quite a lot of beautiful landscapes to explore. Will you dare to challenge the gods?

    Although far from perfect, Flintlock is an explosively fun experience that beautifully blends the action-adventure and Soulslike genres—all while dabbling with a bit of 3D platforming. It will appeal to those who love going the extra mile to see what hidden items they can find in hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. If you can wade through Flintlock’s performance issues, you’re in for a gorgeous ride.

    Flintlock The Siege of Dawn epitomises the 7/10. Sporadic performance snags aside, it’s the ideal summer game – approachable and fun. It’s the sort of thing you’ll play once. Inessential but still worth your time.

    While its general lack of depth may be off-putting to some, there's no denying the worldbuilding around its meager plot or the fun found in its Flintlock fantasy approach to combat.
  7. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn simply isn’t memorable in any way. It has perfectly fine combat, but it’s filled with little frustrations that bury the few innovations that work. Movement outside of combat is often unreliable and satisfying, and it’s all backed up by a story that failed to grab me at every turn. There are glimpses of good ideas, but none of them ever get fleshed out.
