    Thymesia sports a compelling story coupled by an intriguing souls-like combat system, but it's constrained by excessively linear levels and complete lack of any dubbing. Regardless, if you're looking for a challenging action game, you should definitely give it a chance.

    Thymesia is the latest title to try and be the next Soulsborne experience. Sadly, its lofty ideas fall short and its potential is never reached. On top of this, a lack of originality holds it back throughout.

    Thymesia has all the ingredients necessary to make for a solid indie Soulslike experience, but it falls short due to messy implementation of mechanics, bland level design, weak lore and issues with difficulty balancing. There are some really neat ideas here, for sure, with the game's plague weapons providing lots of variety in how you go about dealing with your enemies, but unnecessary and awkward elements such as an overly tricky deflection system and dodge mechanics that need tightening up sully the overall combat experience. With a little more TLC this could have been a banger, but as things stand it's a fairly average effort that's hard to recommend if you're not a huge fan of the genre.

    Do not expect it to be a worthy contender to Dark Souls: Thymesia simply draws its inspirations from the latter while proposing its own, more nervous and dynamic formula. With the help of his sword and ancestral weapons, the hero gifts the player with some particularly memorable fights and moves that every respectable swordsman should try for himself. It is a shame the adventure is a tad short.

    C’est graphiquement moyen avec hélas beaucoup trop de flou cinétique -qu’on ne peut pas désactiver- et si à la différence des Souleries de mon cul, l’endurance n’est pas prise en compte, les combats sont beaucoup plus rapides… et confus !

    Pour le reste, c’est entièrement repompé sur les merdes de chez From **** ce qui signifie une punition permanente et récurrente qui plaira certainement à tous les masos du coin qui aiment à recommencer jusqu’au par coeur ! pauvres hères fêlés qui errez dans ces daubes, comme je vous plains ! mais allez consulter quand même parce que ça craint.    … Full Review »
