    Thymesia makes us feel like the soulslike genre is completely played out already. A poor and needless Bloodborne substitute. No substance, little style. [Issue#19, p.81]

    If more of the game had the degree of polish that reaving does, the game could have been something special. The end result is a small-scale game with lofty aspirations that miss the mark. Stealing specials is great, but everything surrounding that is unimpressive.

The soundtrack is very good. The level design is not complex as in dark souls games. Even though it was a short journey I liked the story and everything in the game. I had fun while playing it. I can only criticize the game for getting too much inspiration from the original souls games to the point of losing its own identity.… Full Review »

    While it deems itself a "Souls-like", it is absolutely not even close to being decent enough to be apart of the genre. The hit boxes areWhile it deems itself a "Souls-like", it is absolutely not even close to being decent enough to be apart of the genre. The hit boxes are atrocious, to put it decently, dodge is something you have to upgrade and doesn't always work, enemy lock-on is so tuned up, that if you dodge their attack, they just turn toward where your dodge is gonna stop and smash on you, they'll negate you hitting them by giving you a 3-5 hit combo, and while they hit you 50-100 points each time, even on level 12 with strength up to 8, you only hit like 4HP....each enemy has 2 health bars, you only have one....enemy types are not varied.....overall the game just sucks and I'm ashamed that I even spent my hard earned money on this game....yep, I'm ashamed I spent $30 on this garbage.....it does have beautiful graphics tho and an awesome soundtrack, and sound effects....they had great ideas and a game that could've actually worked out, had they done a better job in development.....Don't waste your money on this garbage, and instead, just wait for Team Ninja or FromSoftware to release one of their titles, because no one will ever do it better then them....noble try but it fails miserably… Full Review »
