    Playing Shoulders of Giants is a joy, especially after you unlock some impressive gear and really start to wreak havoc on invading evil forces. When you throw in the lovely environment-transforming visuals and take the fight online, you're left with a winning formula.

    Shoulders of Giants is a wonderful surprise. It’s a third-person action roguelike with a ton of heart. Great gameplay, stylish graphics, satisfying progression, and a killer soundtrack combine to create a game I loved spending time with. I know it’s great solo so as long as the co-op runs well this is a title you and your friends won’t want to miss.

    Great soundtrack. Fun gameplay. Visually appealing art style. Interesting powers. Robust player upgrade system. Lacks engagement on the storyGreat soundtrack. Fun gameplay. Visually appealing art style. Interesting powers. Robust player upgrade system. Lacks engagement on the story side of things. Very basic plot. Repetitive Gameplay aspect countered by procedural generation. Playing solo. I don't play online generally so I can't review that aspect. Decently difficulty solo. Would recommend. Cute interesting simple game. Question: is it too simple for you? Not for me but I can understand scores lower than mine. Nobody rightfully should be rating this as less than a 7 out of 10 unless it's an opinion piece writer rather than an objective reviewer who didn't like the game and can't keep their opinion to themself.… Full Review »
