    The Last Oricru is a cynical attempt at a Dark Souls successor. So many aspects of the game fall short to capture the same thrills within the series and its other imitators. With unsatisfying gameplay, a cliche-ridden story, and poor graphics, The Last Oricru is a difficult game to recommend.

    I am not such a purist that I can’t enjoy a lower-budget indie take on the Souls-like formula, and the team at GoldKnights shows its chops in several of The Last Oricru‘s aspects. The writing and world-building are enjoyable, and the vision of giving the player lots of choice in how the story should unfold has been well realized. But when it comes to combat and performance, the game is a mess. Even if one is lucky enough to avoid game-breaking bugs, combat is executed so poorly that it spreads its taint onto the rest of the experience. When having to restart a game completely due to a bug isn’t even the worst issue encountered, I think that about says it all. In the end, the development team has much to prove to bring the gameplay in line with the good elements it showed it is capable of.

    The Last Oricru can be terrible in some parts, but when it's good, it's delightful — though, I can't recommend it outside of its co-op elements, and I'd avoid it as a single-player title overall.

    Visuals are great, characters interesting, music smooth and voice acting well performed.
    Overall it is like an easier Darks Souls with scifi mixed in. Very immersive.
    Combat is challenging. Items, skills, upgrading, exploring... It's all in there.
    The main character is quite a chad :) Very fresh.
    I've encountered only one minor bug and they're working on fixing it with the next patch.
    Don't listen to hateful crybabies and try the game yourself.
    It is a ride.    … Full Review »

But I want to level the field a little since it is definitely not a 0. What only one other review say right now.

    I somewhere read it is like souls mixed with Gothic which is pretty accurate, but it also combined with scifi. The world is pretty cool. Main hero takes a little getting used to (strange choice of voice) but it will eventually click and I am glad it isn't just some other forgettable hero.

    I love the story and how the souls mechanic is included into it. Hope these guys get another chance for a game like this, since this AA debut from a small European studio is better than many AAA games from recent memory.    … Full Review »

It's aAfter 6 hours in-game I can say: The Last Oricru is a fun and good game, and in some aspects, it brings interesting new game mechanics. It's a good first project from a small indie developer. Of course, the game has flaws after the release, but the authors are patching them. I see the potential to get even better.… Full Review »
