Aug 19, 2024Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a game with a very strong vision. It puts players in a world almost comically oversized with no direction and just the sound of footsteps on metal floors. Later an impressive orchestral soundtrack paints a picture of a past long decayed while players are left alone, disoriented and lost. While combat is mostly mediocre, Bleak Faith: Forsaken has managed to capture the atmosphere of Warhammer 40k and the very first Dark Souls and somehow has woven them together into something new.

Aug 7, 2024Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a great addition to the genre and the fact that three developers created all this is quite impressive. The exploration alone is honestly enough to start an adventure in the Omnistructure, with the rest of the game being a lovely distraction. Enjoy the thrilling boss fights and impressive arsenal of weapons to use against numerous enemies. It's story may be too vague and uninteresting and some technical issues may get annoying, but Bleak Faith is worth the anguish to see the potential of what Souls-like can truly become.

Aug 22, 2024An interesting take on the Souls-Like genre that makes some effort to mix things up a little. It doesn't do anything especially new, but is well put together and an enjoyable entry into the genre.

Aug 5, 2024Despite its many flaws, starting with the ladder climbing and descending and ending with the worst jumping mechanic of any Souls title, Archangel Studios is constantly updating and improving the title so that fans can have a smoother experience when diving into the Omnistructure. However, if you have never played a Souls title before, this should not be your first. The Omnistructure is a maze of paths that feel far too similar, and this can turn players away from the genre entirely. All in all, Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a solid title and a must-try for the Souls faithful.

Aug 23, 2024Bleak Faith: Forsaken may not be the best soulslike experience, but the world and overall designs are very impressive, despite the uninspired story and mechanical shortcomings.

Aug 11, 2024Bleak Faith: Forsaken finally arrives on consoles, and presents itself as an accessible and fascinating variant of the soulslike genre.

Aug 7, 2024Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a collective of broken elements that were never going to work together, to begin with, and the final product is not short of a disaster. Spend your money and time elsewhere.
