    The Last Oricru is a narrative action role-playing game that tries to combine the soulslike formula with the factors that affect decision-making.

    The Last Oricru is a game with some brilliant elements and some rather sketchy ones. The game offers combat that works, a good co-op system and an engaging story. Its best achievement is in the branching narrative system that unfolds through the player's decisions. The local and online co-op mode is satisfying and helps you have a good time with your friends, plus it's well thought out and works very well. While in the story and its decision system works, and the graphics, sound and combat deliver, the Souls elements feel alien to the game's identity, and at times take you out of the experience. The overall experience with The Last Oricru is positive and is definitely an option for those who like RPGs.

    The Last Oricru is a bit of a mixed bag, even if it is mostly one filled with goodies. What it does, it does pretty well, but basic things like a hysterical camera that is keen to show you anything except the bloke smacking you with a sword, do put a dent in the enjoyment. Playing cooperatively is a great idea, and having a friend along can make things better, but even then there are better entries in the action RPG genre.

    The Last Oricru, to its credit, doesn't want to sow discord in the gaming family. It stands under the acrobat's rope, confused, with a look full of wonder. Equally bewildered were we who watched its endeavor, hoping at the end that the farce taking place would one day end and the true character of the title would emerge, saving all as a true hero.

    For how clunky the overall experience is, I will admit there’s plenty of replay value if you can ignore all of its shortcomings, issues and suffer through Silver's delivery. While some might not being locked into their choices permanently, it makes you deal with the consequences of your actions, also a clever way to force multiple playthroughs if you want to experience everything The Last Oricru has to offer and I did enjoy going with my gut reaction rather than seeing a ‘good’ vs ‘bad’ option. Unless you’re a massive Soulslike fan looking for a new game to stream or master, it’s hard to recommend joining the Ratvolution.

    I wanted to like The Last Oricru very much, I was intrigued by the fish out of water story, but the abrasiveness of the main character and the basic feeling combat just killed it for me. There is a case here for a strong presentation, the vistas and some of the levels were a joy to explore, also the fact that the game kept what felt like a solid 60 fps was a big plus in this ‘next-gen’ age but there was always something just keeping me from really enjoying myself. Be it the so-so story, the wasted use of souls mechinics or just Silver himself, sadly The Last Oricru just doesn’t add anything new to the genre.

    The Last Oricru is a masterpiece of bad design. When a game has to warn its players not to invest in half the available skill points because they’re worthless, you know you’ve got something special, and that’s what Oricru is - special. It’s so profoundly wrong it deserves to be studied, dissected, remembered for years. Its creators should tour universities and give talks about their artistic philosophies so future generations can learn how never to make a videogame. If you’d told me aliens had developed it, I’d struggle to argue, such is the incomprehensible absurdity on display...I am in awe of such a marvel.
