    Deathbound is a good game, but it has some technical flaws such as visual bugs, unpolished animations, and a low variety of enemies. It genuinely pays homage to its soulslike peers, featuring an original and progressive story and brutal combat.

    Deathbound shines with ambition and innovative ideas, but stumbles in execution. Its unique party system and fascinating setting clash with technical issues and weak narrative, with the result of an imperfect but intriguing experience for Soulslike fans.

    A unique spin on the soulslike formula, Deathbound has some good ideas that aren’t always executed perfectly. Challenging and frustrating in equal measure, this is nevertheless a decent take on the genre.

    Deathbound brings some interesting ideas for soulslikes. However, design and technical issues prevent it from achieving a more prominent place in a genre such concepts are fundamental to determining what is really good.
