    "8doors: Arum’s Afterlife Adventure is one of those games that releases and seems to fly under everyone’s radar, but really should have been one of those games that people latch onto. It’s got a beautiful aesthetic, great music, tight gameplay, and fun exploration. It may be a little bit too punishing, and save checkpoints may not be as frequent as I would have liked at times; however,"8doors: Arum’s Afterlife Adventure is one of those games that releases and seems to fly under everyone’s radar, but really should have been one of those games that people latch onto.

Do yourself a favour and join Arum on her journey."

    Highly recommended. The art style is great, the combat is great, the story is unique, and the enemies are weird.

    Fantastic Metroidvania. Checks all the boxes of what makes a great Metroidvania. Hollow Knight fans will definitely love this.

    There are definitely some spots towards the end that feel like they were just thrown in to add some extra padding, like repeating quests you’ve already completed and even having to replay a boss fight. It can really take you out of the moment and halt the flow of the game. With the long distance between save points, difficult bosses, and sometimes frustrating platforming, this game will really make you ponder how much suffering you are willing to endure to reach full enlightenment.
