    I fell in love with the combat in this game right from the get go because it never failed to disappoint and it always felt satisfying when in full flow. 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.

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.… Expand

    Even with its very short length, Dark Souls vets will find some entertainment here with its unique bosses and increasingly difficult gameplay. If you’ve been shy to try the genre because of its difficulty, this may be a good first step into it, as you’re not weighed down by hours of gameplay and exploration, and simply get to experience the best portions back to back, even if that does make for a slightly shallow experience with little payoff.

    While it seems like it's missing a lick of paint to make sure that its aesthetics are as strong as its mechanics, it's still a smart step forward and a good example of how we can pay homage to the beloved works of others with originality.

    A weak try to get a "Souls" style that doesn't work in many senses. A game in which we face eight enormous enemies, hard and cruel... and basically, that's all. Technically poor and with a unstable playability.
