    Soulstice came out of nowhere for me and it is fantastic. Its mix of brilliant combat, an intriguing plot, great music, and occasionally gorgeous graphics had me hooked instantly. This could be the beginning of a great series and one excellent title you do not want to miss.

    Soulstice combines a fascinating setting, two well-characterized protagonists, an engaging storyline and a gameplay that, albeit with a few smears, is capable of providing many hours of fun. It's not a perfect game, with the troublesome camera handling as its major flaw, but it's still a game that every lover of third-person action games should consider.

    Soulstice is a good game that is marred by the occasional glitch, but it certainly offers a really fun gameplay experience. Despite asking for a greater variety of combos, it manages to offer a really fantastic hack & slash experience, something difficult to find outside the exponents of the genre.

    An experience not without many technical flaws, but which will nevertheless convince fans of the genre.

    Soulstice is a classic hack’n slash, a solid technical section with some bugs, a frantic and dynamic combat and an interesting story. But with an excessive duration.

    It’s a chaotic push and pull between ecstatic fun and dull annoyance that honestly drives Soulstice, but it’s nonetheless worth checking out.

    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!

    Camera is fine, game is fine. Nowhere near deserving of this negative review bombing. Bringing balance to the Force.

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
