    C’est une soulerie qui soûle mais ici en version indé à la petite semaine : les graphismes sont limités mais surtout extrêmement génériques comme peut en témoigner cet univers de SF de pacotille à tendance bêtement horrifique. La direction artistique est au mieux banale et au pire incroyablement ennuyeuse.

La direction artistique est au mieux banale et au pire incroyablement ennuyeuse.

    Cette soulerie n’a que sa difficulté (très élevée comme le veut le genre des souleries) pour elle et de fait son caractère très punitif, et cela implique un étonnant temps de chargement quand on meurt… y compris sur Series X ! Pas de carte pour s’orienter en tout cas et des mécaniques de jeu qui rajoutent à la lourdeur de l’ensemble, déjà bien lourdingue.

    Comme la gestion de l’énergie en plus de l’endurance, énergie qui concerne les armes à distance, énergie qui peut servir de bouclier ou vous soigner et fait office de munitions… dont on manque alors très fréquemment. M’enfin bref, c’est vraiment casse-burnes et quitte à copier les souleries, il suffisait de copier et puis c’est tout, pas de nous soûler… encore plus !    … Expand

    Best sci-fi action RPG that I've ever have played so far. It could be the best game with low budget ever made.

    great game, dynamic combat... I think those who don't like it because they didn't learn.

    Loved the game and made all the achievements, I really think you guys should play this game with the heart, not with the hate.

    Literally the worst game I have ever played, played from start to finish trying so hard to find some piece of enjoyment, some redeeming quality for this and there is nothing there. Just a broken, boring, wholly unimaginative experience. 0/10

    This is a Great Cheap Animation Game
    I didn't feel like I gave an attack
    MultiPlay is BROKEN.I couldn't get the item twice and Locked out BOSS AREA
    THIS IS NOT EA GAMES.Think about it, PLEASE!
    Even if the bug is fixed after a few weeks, it doesn't make sense because it's already done
    They done super massive work.nice

    Dolmen provides fans of SciFi and Souls games with another daunting adventure full of defeat and satisfaction. The game isn’t without faults, having a few bugs as well as some inconsistencies with some combat mechanics, but the team at Massive Work Studio have laid a solid foundation. The game provides just enough reward to make the challenge worth it.

    Unfortunately, despite the ranged combat perking the experience up, Dolmen‘s general design feels like it is too indebted to soulslikes and ultimately suffers for it. The melee is not consistent, enemy AI is weak, the exploration is not deep, and the level design is just passable. What Dolmen does well is sci-fi flavored third-person shooting with a good level of challenge that isn’t a cakewalk. I hope the developers get the chance to take a look at what worked in Dolmen and try again… as it stands, it’s too tempting to make comparisons to games like Dark Souls, and those comparisons aren’t favorable.

    Sadly, whilst Dolmen is a game that may have been well suited 10 or 15 years ago, with a ton of souls-likes already out there such as The Surge, Hellpoint, Mortal Shell, Nioh, and so on, there is a lot to achieve if you want to make it as a memorable experience in the action RPG genre, and Dolmen doesn’t stand up there with the cream of the crop already available.
