    Even for a souls fan brings quite a new and fresh approach. Fights might not be on the same level as in the DS series, but good enough to enjoy the story and interesting world. Recommend!

    As a not-so big fan of Souls genre, this game catched my soul from the very beginning. 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 pleasentlyAs a not-so big fan of Souls genre, this game catched my soul from the very beginning.

    This is a good game from a small developer. I'm glad to support them with my money and by review now. Do you like Dark Souls or Gothic? Don't miss this one.

    unusual game, it was very interesting to make choices that change future story, i like it, there are also references to sci-fi classics.

    I feel like this game is going to be overlooked by the masses. Graphics aren't the greatest. Has mechanics similar to the Souls games, yet more forgiving. Save points that respawn all enemies, die and your essence is where you died... etc. Spilt screen is great, but share inventory.

    Pros: Great story and choices make a difference. Split screen (yes couch co-op). It was not incredibly    I feel like this game is going to be overlooked by the masses.

    Pros: Great story and choices make a difference. Split screen (yes couch co-op). It was not incredibly long, but to get all trophies would have to playthrough it multiple times. It was fun in a laid back not overly stressful game. Not $70

    Cons..Reading the quest log is near impossible, sometimes you have no idea where going next. Tales a lot of materials to upgrade weapons and armor and to do so would lead to grinding . Graphic snobs won't be blown away. Repetitive opponents.    … Expand

    The Last Oricru is a bit better than I expected. It's a solid amount of fun for an A++ title. The developers added an inverted Y, which my son uses, so now there are two of us playing. The skill interaction between the characters is pretty cool.

    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?

    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.

    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.
