    Decay of Logos is beautiful and challenging. The game is inspired by some of the best titles in the arpg genre. As of right now (on PS4) the game has some performance issues that can prove frustrating. I am, however, confident these performance issues will be corrected soon enough. For $20 there is no better choice than Decay of Logos currently. It is a great option for people who

    want something reminiscent of Breath of the Wild but don't own a Nintendo. It can scratch that souls-like itch for you. Once the performance issues are ironed out this is a 10/10 for me.    … Expand

    A true challenge. The learning curve might be a bit steep but when you finally manage to get some upgrades and understand how the mechanics work, it opens up. It isn't entirely like Demon/Dark Souls movement-wise. The character has more weight and inertia and you have to account for that. But, like DS, the fast pulse of not knowing what's around the corner, that's what makes it amazing!A true challenge.

    I find the graphics beautiful but not entirely reminiscent of Zelda's cel-shaded look. It's more of a Fortnite or WoW's cartoonish look, which is not a bad thing and works great in this high fantasy environment. A warm palette and many contrasts of lighted vs dark areas. The ambient sound is also brilliant. Wind, birds, rustling of the leaves or creepy stuff when you're underground. Lovely with a surround sound setup. The music is sparse, well composed and a cue for the intense scenes. Some pro journo's reviews mention bugs and chaos. Nonsense. I've had one instance where the character got stuck on a dead enemy, but turning the menu on and off solved it.    … Expand

    I have no idea if its been that patched that you can no longer find bugs which wont allow you to progress, but at this time the only bug I've found was to be paralysed indefinitely. Never found a framerate issue.
    Having this said, the game feels and plays quite good, and it really is a pleasant surprise, given the reviews I've seen.

    The controls and movement are fine and well done. Never really noticed any delay.

    It plays like dark souls, though expect less populated areas. Difficult anyways.
    The story, lore and mechanics are worth to play.

    I'd give the game 8/9 with no problems, if you like the genre.    … Expand

    Interesting game with nice visuals, but it loses breath quite quickly. Nevertheless I am interested in next title from this team.

    Decay of Logos is a bad, broken game, and no amount of patches is going to fix it any time soon. You’re much better off spending your time and money someplace else — like, say, setting your cash on fire, and then staring at a wall. That would certainly be more fun than what’s in store for you here.

    When the most critical bugs are eventually squashed (developers have promised a steady stream of patches) and the penalty for dying hopefully toned down a bit (or conversely, more resting points added to the world), Decay of Logos will rise up to its full promise. As it stands now, you have to answer the following questions. Do you want your game challenging? Do you want a game that doesn’t guide you by hand but trusts your own initiative? Do you want a brave elf heroine with floppy ears? If you answered “yes!” three times, Decay of Logos is absolutely for you, a high fantasy adventure that is as high on its stakes as on the reward you get from conquering its unlikely circumstances.

    This game is simply not very good. I have played worse for sure, but the mistakes made here are purely by design. Players should get the benefit of the doubt on making jumps, or maybe don’t have most jumps lead to instant death. Enemies should be fun to fight, not unwanted encounters that can kill you or at least break all your armor. Inventory this limited in an RPG is absurd. Don’t let the somewhat interesting, Breath of the Wild art style fool either, because the game isn’t all that pretty in gameplay; it comes off lifeless and bland.
