This is the difference from a team that actually has passion to make and deliver a great game, and a massive team that’s basically only making games for profit.

I freaking love this game. On thing the reviewer failed to bring up was how the items work in the game. You don't always know what an item does or what effect it has on your character. You have to use it once to find out what it does and then use it up to 10 times to get the full benefit from it. Some items might even damage you the first time, only to be a much needed aid after you've used it 2 or three times and figured out what it is. This mystery to the items also extends to the world, which makes for great exploration and provides a sense of discovery I've only ever felt the first time you navigate through a Souls game. Above the style and difficulty, Mortal Shell is great for Souls fan's not because it plays like dark Souls or Bloodborne, but because the game understands the spirit of Souls games, it creates an atmosphere Souls fans will be familiar with, while being new in terms of places to visit and fresh in terms of combat. I can not wait to see what this dev team puts out next.

Taking a cue from Bloodborne there

Holy crap this looks awesome for such a small team!

just here for the "im here because of playstation plus." comments

Finished on NG+. awesome game, a bit short and would love to have more depth (f.e. killing harder enemies is not worth at all near half of the game, as there are no rare mats or weapons to farm and you are easily maxed out, at least on main Shell), but considering such small studio - those guys and gals are absolutely amazing! Best souls-like on the market, along with Nioh and Remnant

I finished it in about 6.5 hours and got all the weapons and shells. Definitely a ton of fun and worth the 30 bucks. Playing on NG+ with weapons I didn’t use much (hammer and chisel, and the ember mace)

I need this in my life! The souls like formula is the only genre that I've never gotten sick of.

"There's a little shellthing for everyone." -IGN

I wish the parrying attacks carried more weight behind them. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s almost like the sword stab is too smooth and there’s no reaction from the enemy’s stabbed torso.

That drop kick though was so unexpected 😂

One of the most enjoyable games I've got stuck into. Takes strategy and alot patience but is deffiently worth it 👍

I, for one, am glad that "Souls-like" is pretty much a genre of it's own now. Code Vein and Hellpoint are two of my favorite games now. Keep em coming!

Funny story. Several years ago, I bought Dark Souls and returned it the same day. Somebody told me the game would only piss me off but it looked interesting and I was into the dark theme. Unfortunately, I couldn’t hang with it. Fast forward to today, after a few days of trying and trying and trying, I finally have a full understanding of Mortal Shell’s mechanics and am having a blast with it. It’s as if you had to unlearn the hack and slash style gaming of action RPGs. Now that I get it, I suddenly have an affinity towards souls like combat games. So much so that I’m going to give Dark Souls another chance after I complete Mortal Shell. Once the mechanics click, you feel like a badass. I had a “Aha!” moment once I picked up on how you’re supposed to play the game. This also caused me to think about other games in a completely different way. Just give it a chance and don’t immediately give up. Take your time. It does require some patience to unlearn how you previously played and thought about games if you’re new to this genre. I never thought I could get into it but now, I love it and can’t get enough of playing Mortal Shell.

FREE on EPIC!!!

I played it on ps4 and I won't go beyond a 6/10. Some performance issues like horizontal attacks skipping frames and being faster/hitting sooner than they should, rolling inputs not being read or being really delayed, getting hit through hardened state, button prompts being delayed, mainly when trying to recover a shell, going through enemy attacks, having enemies attack right after a riposte as if all you did was tickle them, happens mostly in the eternal narthex, especially the born twice boss. Item consumption is painfully slow, the effects activate quickly but the animation goes for long time. Fast Travel and Parry need to be unlocked, Parry is pretty easy to unlock, there's no way to not do it but fast travel can take some time, especially if you don't know wich shell you wanna use, cause you need a fully upgraded shell before you can purchase the fast travel item. I actually had to restart my save because I had spent time leveling and trying each shell so I was underpowered and lacking the necessary skills. Not very friendly for a first playtrough. Graphics aren't bad but the environments are pretty dull, the Shells and weapons look nice but everything else is quite repetitive. The bosses aren't too tough if you do your level up right, traversing the environments though will be painful especially if there's ranged enemies nearby. Since you have no ranged options. Respect to the people who worked on it.
