    Not only is Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption a shameless rip-off of the Souls series, it also manages to be a downright irritating game with very little payoff. Unless you want to show off your boss fighting skills on Twitch or something, I suggest avoiding this game entirely.

    Hey guys, just go play dark souls again, it'd be more worth your time then this. The boss design is the only thing i can compliment about thisHey guys, just go play dark souls again, it'd be more worth your time then this. The boss design is the only thing i can compliment about this game, but everything else from the combat to graphics and story just lack. the background is always a blurry mess and the controls seem kind of unresponsive times. My biggest gripe with the game is how the aim system and camera works, you have 0 control of the camera at all times, even when not locked on, and your character wont swing at what your locked onto unless you manually turn around at the enemy. For certain bosses the camera needs to be better, for the greed boss fight I didn't know there was an OFF SCREEN HOUSE that you can rest on to avoid getting poisoned, i only discovered this when trying to throw myself off the map, and apparently that house is detrimental to the fight, thank god its off screen though. its a shame to see a good concept go to such waste.

    The artificial difficulty, lack of customization and items, lack of character depth, brutally unforgiving camera angles, lack of engagingThe artificial difficulty, lack of customization and items, lack of character depth, brutally unforgiving camera angles, lack of engaging story, questionable hitboxes, lack of reward system, arena pitfalls everywhere, snail-like pacing of the protagonist, and lack of character poise --just to name a "few" problems with the game-- make for an evanescently enjoyable experience that sadly leaves you wondering, "Why am I even trying to beat this game again?"

    Given more effort and time from the devs, even for a Soulsesque title, this could have been a winner, but its potential is ultimately adumbrated by its egregious ignoring of critical details. A future patch could improve things, but right now, the biggest sin in this game is not to be found by any of its unfair Alighierian bosses; the sinner is not even you, as Adam or the player yourself; the biggest sin is in this game's hurried, unpolished execution.

Inspired by some of the best game already in the market and religion. It take all the good point and make it in a little good game. It's a dark soul-like, every mistake is a punishment. Boss are memorable and have special fight mechanics. It's not an hard game at all, 6 hr and it's done. So why everyone think it's a hard game? Because everytime you kill a boss you'll do a sacrifice, that mean you'll get a malus, like less damage, less defence etc. And you'll keep these malus the entire game.

    This game have some good idea, but too short.
