    Thymesia is a short adventure – Soulsborne pros might complete it in under eight hours, but with its deep combat and constant sense of progression, it never outstays its welcome and remains consistently engaging. It’s a bite-sized entry into the genre that doesn’t try to redefine its parameters, but instead hones in on a few core aspects and maximizes their potential.

    Still, at 10 hours, Thymesia is short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome. You wind up feeling more like a general badass than a vastly overpowered killing machine for the most part, and the game's great ideas culminate in some intense, memorable boss fights. While a few elements of the overall experience don't gel, Thymesia understands what matters most about its inspirations, while adding a few spins of its own to create a small, smart, and rewarding Souls-like experience.

    A soulsborne that lacks refinement, but manages to entertain thanks to an interesting combat system - even if the challenge is certainly not the most difficult ever to appear in this subgenre.

    Thymesia is an interesting action-RPG with good ideas. Unfortunately not all of them are developed properly. As the first game of Overborder Studio, it turns out to be a good debut, hoping that this experience will serve to smooth out all the edges on the narrative and game balance in the future.

    With a higher budget it might have been a game that could make a name for itself, but unfortunately it doesn't go beyond being a snack for Soulsborne veterans. Still, it's not a bad choice if you're a gamer who is keen on meeting this genre.

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but when the imitation does little to add its own twists and ideas to an already established formula, it ends up as little more than a cheap copy of the original. For those desperate for Sony to finally port Bloodborne over to the PC, Thymesia might be a good stopover. Still, for anyone looking for a genuinely good Soulslike experience, your time is better spent elsewhere.

    Certain sections of Thymesia contain the spark of something greater, the hint at the unrealized potential which was sorely missed with this release.

    Whats special about this game is the aggressive play style, i'm sick of fighting dumb enemies in souls-like games lately, and this game kinda fix it for me, tho it gets easier when you play it for a while.

    Pros:
    - Excellent gameplay
    - Good maparea design
    - Unique enemies and bosses
    - Intense adrenaline triggering combat
    - Good leveling and upgrading system
    - Tons of weapons and Talents to choose from
    - It's Cheap ... i mean 10$ for this !! jeez can i buy it again ? lol

    Cons:
    - Poor story
    - Minor bugs
    - Very linear
    - It's sadly short (7 hours)
    yet if you are aiming to finish it with side quest and all you gonna get 20 hours maybe.

    I highly recommend it for """"souls fans"""",
    tho keep your expectation low, its a small project..
    you can't compare it to DS, BB, Sekiro, Nioh etc...    … Expand

    Soulslike oyun açlığı çekenlerin şifa niyetine tüketmeleri gereken bir iş. Büyük çaplı değil, basit ve kısa bir oyun. Ama yaptığı işi çok iyiSoulslike oyun açlığı çekenlerin şifa niyetine tüketmeleri gereken bir iş. Büyük çaplı değil, basit ve kısa bir oyun. Ama yaptığı işi çok iyi yapıyor. Karakter ve silah gelişimi olsa da rpg elementleri çok az. Bir tane silahınız var. Ancak özel yeteneğiniz sayesinde düşmanlarınızın silahlarını bir defaya mahsus çalıp kullanabiliyorsunuz. Böylelikle ondan fazla silahı kullanmış oluyorsunuz. Bu da oyuna souls oyunlarında olmayan bir element eklemiş.

    Bir diğer şey düşmanlarınıza vurduğunuzda canlarının azalması ancak pençe ile vurmadığınızda yaralarının iyileşip geri dolması. Bu yüzden normal saldırılarınızı yaptıktan kısa bir süre sonra bir kaç kez de pençe saldırısı yapmanız gerekiyor. Bu da yavaş ve defansif değil agresif oynamak zorunda olmanız demek. Ki oyunun oynanışı da bunu destekliyor. Epey hızlı bir karakterimiz var. Ne kadar hızlı olduğumuzu oyunun son boss'u olarak kendimiz gibi birisi karşımıza çıktığında anlıyoruz. Beni bir kaç saat uğraştırdı açıkçası.

    Oyun atmosferi ve görselliği güzel. Müzik yok gibi bir şey. Harita dizaynı fena değil. Bir bölüme sondaki boss'u kesip gidiyorsunuz. Ama o bölümde keşfedecek küçük yerler falan var. Üst katlar vesaire. Öyle dümdüz koridorda ilerlemiyorsunuz.

    Neticede iş görür derecede bir oyun. Çok beklenti olmadan oynanabilir. Türe eklediği bir kaç yaratıcı fikir de cabası.    … Expand

    It's alright. It's a lot like Sekiro with the deflection/parry combat systems with a unique twist on damaging the enemies but it feels asIt's alright. It's a lot like Sekiro with the deflection/parry combat systems with a unique twist on damaging the enemies but it feels as though that doesn't apply to you quite as much. Decent variety due to the different paths you can take with your character and the plague weapon mechanic is quite cool and a pleasure to use but the game seems to lack something. I can't quite say why but the core combat felt incomplete. As for level design, it's pretty good visually and it has the core philosophy of a souls-like with shortcuts and whatnot but it feels lacking, that's not to say that it isn't enjoyable cutting a path to the next boss or bonfire?(I forgot the name) but it's very rough. The bosses feel like the weakest part. There is not much variety in each boss's moveset and they seem to be poorly balanced. It's far from perfect but provides an enjoyable experience for 5-10 hours. Overall: fun souls-like but very rough round the edges and mashes too many mechanics that don't entirely work together. Great if on sale, alright if not.… Expand
