    fixed camera movement and unpredictable framings strike down Soulstice tragically. Exploration is hard with that unpredictable and unfriendly behaviour and you lose interest very soon in the game. Really horrible

    it's just a flat imitation of Bayonetta and Devil May Cry with no soul, nothing new to the table, flat narration, messy combats and especially poor fixed camera choice

    Camera is really annoying because most of the areas oblige you to play with fixed visual. The framings are from high distance most of the time and change quickly as soon as you reach the edge of the screen, so the result is constant headache! I don't recommend playing it, unless they solve the issue

    Acho impossível brincar com aquela câmera que não se move. É muito desconfortável e a cabeça dói. Uma atualização é urgentemente necessária para resolver o problema

    La caméra fixe a beaucoup gâché l'expérience de jeu. Non seulement cela rend très difficile l'exploration des scénarios de jeu, mais cela vous fera gravement mal à la tête. Vraiment dommage qu'ils ne s'en soient pas rendu compte avant de sortir le jeu

    The year is 2022 and the crappy fixed camera system doesn't suit this game at all. I condemn the company for choosing such a promising game as stupidly camera pain

    Some people compare this game to the Devil May Cry series, however it is very far from that. The main characters are arguably the worst part. They have no charisma and are written very poorly. The combat is repetitive and the graphics are merely serviceable. Sound is ok as is the enemy designs. However the game feels rushed with a some bugs. Perhaps this can be fixed with a patch.

The camera is also one of the worst I've seen in an action game in recent years. Hope they can get these things fixed.… Expand

    Soulstice is an interesting hack 'n slash title with a captivating plot. Focusing heavily on combat mechanics, the developers have delivered a slick and exciting adventure game. Furthermore, the excellent visuals and incredible audio help to set the scene.

    The developers of Soulstice are clearly overflowing with ideas - but they should ask themselves whether all of them are good. The fights could use some trimming of annoying features, the game as a whole tends to slip into boredom and predictability. Maybe next time!

    Far from a perfect game, Soulstice feels like it has a soul and some heart. Made by a smaller studio you can absolutely see the Devil May Cry and Bayonetta influences, and while it may not hit that level quite yet, it’s a great homage regardless, a game that should be enjoyed by fans of the genre.
