    Dolmen is a ripoff soulslike clone that puts other soulslike games I enjoy to utter shame. Awful janky combat with overbloated enemy health bars in trash mobs with the worst stamina regen I've seen yet. Bad checkpoints that leave you frustrated & forcing you to teleport back to the base all the time if you wanna upgrade or tinker with crap you never was explained how to use in the firstDolmen is a ripoff soulslike clone that puts other soulslike games I enjoy to utter shame. Awful janky combat with overbloated enemy health bars in trash mobs with the worst stamina regen I've seen yet. Bad checkpoints that leave you frustrated & forcing you to teleport back to the base all the time if you wanna upgrade or tinker with crap you never was explained how to use in the first place..Obnoxious untelegraphed attacks from enemies with BS One shot kill mechanics built to waste your time... The UI & Hud are a eyesore.. Besides all the buggy glitchy filled mess I experienced in just the first 30 mins of the game to my character locking up unable to attack or dodge attacks to a sound glitch that mutes all sound as your playing the game forcing a restart. There is also a game breaking bug that can erase all your progress upon teleporting during specific places. I can understand what the Devs were trying to accomplish but I think they missed the point out what makes a decent soulslike. Very disappointing and the worst soulslike game I've ever played.… Expand

    This game is a broken mess. Awful combat, graphics, level design, enemy design, voice acting, ost and game design. It’s literally the worst soulslike ever made

    Dolmen..yet another "souls like" game has decided to grace us gamers with its presence. I want to get to the nitty gritty of this review. Save your money. Don't buy it. This is a linear garbage game that was slapped together to try and cash in on the souls like genre. You're on a planet or a ship or something. Nothing is ever really fully explained some voice chirps at you every once inDolmen..yet another "souls like" game has decided to grace us gamers with its presence. I want to get to the nitty gritty of this review. Save your money. Don't buy it. This is a linear garbage game that was slapped together to try and cash in on the souls like genre. You're on a planet or a ship or something. Nothing is ever really fully explained some voice chirps at you every once in awhile talking about gems or batteries or something. The crafting system is never explained fully. You're basically on your own crafting garbage weapons that feel like no matter how much you sink into him. They'd never do any more damage than your initial weapon. The different category of classes is never fully explained either as are their special abilities and weapons that are particular to that class. Nothing is explained. It's ridiculous. I gave it a one for enemy design. As interesting as some of the enemies look, there's no rhyme or reason to how they hit you or their hit points either. Sometimes the same enemy will one shot you for no reason at all and never mind your shield. It's good for nothing. It blocks nothing. The targeting is broken. You'll try to target enemy right near you and it'll target an enemy 50 ft away. There's so much wrong with this game, it just sucks. Garbage bosses are nothing more than sponges designed to pad an already short game and are more aggravating than entertaining.
    Levels all look the same with little to no variety I could go on and on but you get the point. This is a garbage game. Save your 40 bucks and go play Mortal Shell instead. That's a souls like game done right? This is just junk.    … Expand

    This is a Great Cheap Animation Game
    I didn't feel like I gave an attack
    MultiPlay is BROKEN.I couldn't get the item twice and Locked out BOSS AREA
    THIS IS NOT EA GAMES.Think about it, PLEASE!
    Even if the bug is fixed after a few weeks, it doesn't make sense because it's already done
    They done super massive work.nice

    Soulslike veterans will whizz through most of this; but anybody wanting to test the waters will find a game that’s demanding, varied… and just a little wobbly. [Issue#16, p.137]

    For every Elden Ring, there are many Dolmens. That doesn’t mean you should waste your time playing them.

    Despite all the sympathy that we can feel for Dolmen, the perfectible experience leaves us with a cost of incompleteness.
