    Terrible fixed camera completely ruins the game. It makes it impossible to play comfortably

    it's a generic action-adventure game with no inspiration at all, flat levels, boring dialogues and boring characters

    I had awful frustration in playing the game with that foolish fixed camera. I literally felt nausea and vomit stimulus. Stopped playing it after just half hour

    camera is locked and you lose sense of exploration, reducing so much the fun factor of moving freely around your character. The game is clone of Devil May Cry but it doesnt' succeed because it lacks charm, plot and design. The result is a poor representation of an action game with strong limitations (camera, stuttering during battles, poor upgrades) and recycled ideas

    Poor camera motion affects this game. You're not allowed to move the visual when roaming around, which is a bothering factor due to levels complexity and enemies getting stronger and stronger as long as you progress. Unfortunately this aspect jeopardizes all other aspects because gameplay gets troublesome all the time

    ärligt talat, Soulstice är ett banalt spel. Den kan inte fånga dig, strid är rörig, dialoger är tråkiga. Men det största problemet är fasta kamerarörelser. Det begränsar mycket utforskningen av nivåer och huvudet gör ont!

    Reply Game Studios you should fire the person in your team who implemented that stupid fixed camera in Soulstice. It would have been truly a masterpiece without that cancer. Unfortunately, it's only a game to forget, one of the most annoying in gaming history

    I really wanted to like this game, I love DmC type games. But the game just isn’t that good. The combat is enjoyable and that’s about it, the level design is bland and repetitive, story isn’t good, camera angle I don’t think is as bad as other people are saying but it does feel outdated. This game would be worth on PS Plus maybe.

    ¡Jugarlo durante 40 minutos fue suficiente para darme un terrible dolor de estómago con esa horrible cámara fija! ¡No se lo recomiendo a ningún jugador!

    Some people compare this game to the Devil May Cry series, however it is very far from that. The main characters are arguably the worst part. They have no charisma and are written very poorly. The combat is repetitive and the graphics are merely serviceable. Sound is ok as is the enemy designs. However the game feels rushed with a some bugs. Perhaps this can be fixed with a patch.

The camera is also one of the worst I've seen in an action game in recent years. Hope they can get these things fixed.… Expand

    +Grafik ist gut
    -Feste Kamera ist schrecklich!
    -Level-Design ist gut, aber durch schreckliche Kamera ruiniert
    -Schlachten sind verwirrt und chaotisch
    ~Erzählung ist meh mit langweiligen Dialogen
    -Moves sind schwierig mit zwei Charakteren gleichzeitig auszuführen
    - Originalitätsfaktor ist null, Spiel kopiert von Bayonetta fast alles und es kopiert schlecht!

    Camera ruined the game and no option to muffle Lute. Put down on last section unable to properly gauge jumps.will not play again unless there is a fix. Really bad.

    The game is just some serious trash. I kick myself paying money for this. The mechanics are pure frustration. Just a complete headache.

    The backgrounds look beautiful colors and the diff it feels almost like you're looking at paintings it's just you make me feel so XO

    The combat is fun, but once they introduce enemies where you have to fight the width or the blue ability to hit them it becomes very annoying and flow begins to get f*****.

    This is the new thing but the main character design looks weird like in the eyes way to big and I think the female characters close Look so weird for this action game. Why isn't she wearing a proper armor instead of this sexy get up.

    The worst thing I can say about a game is that it's boring and sadly this is boring which is just sad but hey maybe you can find something in it and I can't.    … Expand

    Had such potential, but gets repetitive too quickly. Overall challenge is not that high, and mainly comes from cheap challenges and very poor camera work.

    Eu gostei do jogo de forma geral. Mas o funcionamento da camera me fez quitar no capitulo 21. Simplesmente inaceitavel o quão mal feito é o comportamento da câmera. Certamente é a pior que já vivenciei em um jogo. Uma pena, pois não tive condições de concluir o jogo...

    Soulstice is a strong entry to the action RPG market, and a great showing for its young development studio. It manages to ride a fine line of providing a considerable yet fair difficulty to players of varying skill levels while also including many options for die-hards to ratchet up the challenge far beyond what a standard campaign requires. At the same time, it establishes an intriguing new gameworld that provides a satisfying first outing while leaving the door wide open for future adventures. It may not immediately aspire to the same household-name status as some of its sources of inspiration, but fans of the genre would be hard-pressed to not find plenty to enjoy here.

    Soulstice is a small, but fun and engaging project with some minor but noticeable shortcomings in later stages.

    When it all lines up perfectly, Soulstice can be wonderfully satisfying. Unfortunately, some strange design decisions and camera issues stop it hitting SSS-rank. [Issue#20, p.84]
