    The Last Oricru is nothing more than another Soulslike but it makes an effort to stand out from other games due to its story. Throughout the adventure we will feel that our important decisions have consequences. With very simple mechanics, this is still a very interesting game even with friends.

    The Last Oricru is a fun storytelling experience told through the eyes of the Souls-like genre. It’s great to see everyone working for their own ends, and not being able to identify who is good and bad from the start. Focusing purely on what you think is most advantageous creates a story that fits your own personality well. But everything else is a regular Souls-like experience from top to bottom. There are attempts to stand out, but other than the story, they don’t have the impact that really leaves a positive impression in a player’s mind. The Last Oricru takes some risks, some of which pay off and some that don’t. It’s perfect for those who like their Souls-like games to have a good story, but if you’re not a fan of the genre, you’re better off staying away.

    I believe The Last Oricru is worth your time because it offers a truly interesting way of shaping its story. But first, the developers have to eliminate tons of bugs and fix the game's performance. Only then it will be a good RPG.

    The Last Oricru might not have the most elaborate dialogue system, but compensates with a unique setting, a great story and choices that matter. It's a shame the combat system is so bland and falls behind any other soulslike out there... Although at least does it's job.

    A branching story with interesting twists and turns, along with co-op multiplayer, means that The Last Oricru is a better game than it would’ve been otherwise. It is, however, dragged down by technical issues and some bad design choices.

    The Last Onicru features some cool narrative choice work, putting some true impact on your choices. If you can get on board with the cheeky dialogue and peculiar main character, you should be able to overlook the lackadaisical combat.

    The Last Oricru has some decent ideas and will scratch an itch for fans of Risen, but it’s not quite good enough to overshadow its peers.

    The Last Oricru, is a problematic game in every aspect. The plot is not exciting, the gameplay suffers from the cumbersome control system, and the graphics are not up to today's standards. Co-op and interesting character development are not enough to save the game from insufficiency.

    An action RPG that fails in almost any of its aspects: the resulting experience is unsatisfactory.

    The Last Oricru just can’t seem to make up its mind. Strong presentation and performance are enough to get you in the door, but lack any significant development throughout the 10+ hour playtime. Sporting a weak story, insufferable protagonist, and barebones souls-like systems, The Last Oricru does not bring anything new to the genre. Also, what in the world is an Oricru?

    Another drop in the vast ocean of action RPG’s, The Last Oricru brings nothing new to the much-treaded waters. Worse still, it lacks the refinement and polish to make it a barely passable romp, feeling as rough around the edges as Alpha Protocol did back in the day.

    The problem is that, beyond the good ideas, the execution of almost all of its mechanics leaves much to be desired. The control is erratic, the combat system is unrefined and the level design doesn't always shine. And yet, it's a very interesting experiment that we wish more studios would follow.

The story is incredible, the decisions i made in the game actually matter!! The art style and sceneries look really nice. This is actually one game from many that clogged my PS5 with screenshots..Dialogues between characters are perfectly written and well thought out, which is rare..I was pleasently surprised by this game!
