    The Last Faith takes the Metroidvania genre and elevates it to new heights. Its high level of challenge is met with exceptional game design that allows all players to master gameplay systems before confronting formidable enemies. The narrative gradually builds alongside the gothic atmosphere, providing an immersive experience for players. I’m unsure what will come of the Metroidvania genre, but The Last Faith has unquestionably set a new standard.

    The Last Faith doesn't have a hugely original setting, but it’s an atmospheric, thrilling experience throughout.

    All in all, The Last Faith is an aggravating, frustrating, and incredibly difficult experience. But it’s gorgeous, delightfully gothic, and finally getting to a new area–or fighting a new boss–is incredibly rewarding. An experienced Soulslike gamer will probably have a great time with this title. And if you’ve never played a Soulslike before, this is a good place to start.

    The Last Faith is a grueling metroidvania, leaning into pinnacle souls-like gameplay elements that reward exploration, precision, and patience. Its combat may be simple and fun, but the challenge of mastering its traversal may be too much to handle. Its gorgeous visuals might not be distinct enough to separate itself from the pack of its predecessors, but it’s a great start for those wanting to test the waters of the souls genre.

    If you like Castlevania's delightful playability and Bloodborne's gothic design thinking, The Last Faith won't leave you disappointed for a single second.

    The Last Faith is the perfect marriage between Bloodborne and a typical metrodvania game. With many secrets, a good difficulty balance and many hours of gameplay, The Last Faith is another gem of this awesome 2023.

    The Last Faith appears, at first glance, the son of Blasphemous and Bloodborne. What it really wants to be is a nostalgic trip to the glorious days of Castlevania and Koji Igarashi.

    The Last Faith is a very challenging soulsvania game that doesn't bring much innovation to the genre, but as you play you'll realize you don't want to put it down.
