    Morbid: Lords of Ire brings a couple unique things to the Soulsborne genre, like how to upgrade weapons and a simplified but enjoyable combat experience. While progression on all fronts lacks the polish needed to strengthen its case, Soulsborne fans should give it a try, especially at $30.

    While intriguing in concept, Morbid: The Lords of Ire entertains with its combat but falls short in story and gameplay depth. With its issues, limited build options, and lack of subtitles, the title ultimately becomes unappealing.

    With some interesting tweaks to the formula, Morbid: The Lords of Ire can feel like a stripped down attempt at the souls-like genre. The runes system allows for some relatively neat weaponry and the combat has a solid feel. Unfortunately, it lacks some polish and some of the larger encounters can frustrate. The pacing begins to sag in the closing hours and it's a shame the sanity mechanic doesn't quite land.

    With several general design problems, questionable changes, a lack of technical polish and not much creativity, Mobid: The Lords of Ire is a weak experience and difficult to recommend.

    Morbid: The Lords of Ire has an interesting concept, but it gets lost in terrible gameplay, lifeless and ugly scenery, an uninteresting story and unexciting boss battles. Whether it's the terrible hitbox, the unsatisfactory exploration or even the unbalanced challenge that doesn't make the game difficult, but frustrating, the game fails as a soulslike.
