    This game provides unforgiving boss fights with nothing to depend on but your skill, those fights are intense and perfect for anyone who is looking for a Souls like experience.

    Sinner draws inspiration from several existing titles, but stands apart with its unique approach to development by incentivizing the player to become better, instead of merely improving a character’s skill set.

The presentation side of the game has lots of little details included in both the visuals and sound design and this did make the gameplay very immersive. Each boss in the game has been extremely well done and defeating them always felt rewarding making them some of the best bosses I’ve ever faced. There isn’t a huge amount of content for you to get to grips with the content that’s here has been done well and the story is unique and interesting. Sometimes the gameplay can be really challenging but for me I think they have got the right balance of being fair and challenging at the same time.Every now and then the game suffers with a few technichal issues and these issues do take the gloss of the game a little. There isn’t a great deal of content available to you which means it is a little on the short side. All in all the Dark Souls series is a series that is loved by many and there’s been an array of different game’s that have tried to recapture the Dark Souls formula and ultimately failed. Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption thankfully isn’t one of them game’s though and whilst it successfully captures the Dark Souls feel it is far from being a carbon copy because it has its own unique and interesting mechanics included. Without a doubt my favourite thing about this game was the combat. The combat always felt satisfying and exhilarating and the sense of achievement when defeating one of the excellently designed bosses was off the chain. In face the gameplay on the whole was rewarding full stop and even though there isn’t a huge amount of content for you to get to grips with the nice balance of being fair and challenging at the same time will no doubt make you impressed with the content that is available to you. At the end of the day then even though Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption has a few technical issues here and there it still doesn’t hold the game back very much because the story and different elements of the game deliver to you an experience that is not only immersive but also very fun and enjoyable as well.… Full Review »

    Ils ont ajouté cependant une option pour avoir... moins de vie et moins d'endurance avant les combats de boss ! au cas où les masos en voudraient encore un peu plus... Evidemment, l'endurance se vide en 3 coups et l'interface est mal faite, contraire à toute notion d'ergonomie.

    Graphiquement, c'est plutôt moche (comme un Dark soûle) mais toujours fluide (encore heureux vu la pauvreté des décors). D'affreuses cinématiques en noir et blanc avec une voix off qui raconte n'imp' viennent ponctuer cette "aventure" à deux yuans, vide, plate et sans autre intérêt (?) que se faire chier après avoir payé. Car cette daube n'est pas gratuite !    … Full Review »
