Its 2025, and after playing this game after buying it on sale 7 years after its release, I can still say its a decent game. I will rip the bandaid off for you early: this game is a 2D dark souls. While I wouldn't call it a dark souls rip-off, For all intents and purposes the story and atmosphere is almost identical to it. This game is brutal, similar to dark souls. I died a ton on the first boss fight, and only beat a single boss without dying a single time, all other took anywhere for 3-20 attempts. The game is fair though, and battles feel more like an art the way you memorize patterns, and find room to attack. I beat the game in 9 hours. This included me doing a lot of the secret unnecessary paths. The game will not take you too long as long as you always keep an eye out for secrets, remember and experiment with ALL game mechanics you discover. spoiler but I feel its important to mention By far the biggest turn off in this game was the new game plus. I beat the final boss, sat on the throne, and expected either a new area, or beating the game to send me back to my last save to try and discover the secret ending. Instead, it immediately, without warning, sent me to new game plus, keeping only my levels and heart upgrades, but none of the weapons I had. Not only do I think the entire concept of a new game plus doesn't make sense in a metroidvania, but the way it was executed was just horrible. Whats the point of making enemies stronger if I keep my upgrades anyways? Why make the player play through the entire game when they already know whats going to happen, forcing them to PAINFULLY and SLOWLY get all their weapons and gear again? It would at least make SOME sense to let us keep our items and gear, as it would let us explore the world all over again, but with access to EVERY possible secret from the get-go. I can't even go back to my previous file to try and get the secret ending anymore. What I will say is this: the new game plus ruined getting the secrets for me, since i'm not going to waste another 9 hours getting back to where I was. BUT, I judge games on what they do, and not what they don't do. while yes, this game DID ruin the secrets for me, even without the secret ending I would happily buy it again as long as it is on sale. The base game was good enough and engaging enough to warrant a 3$ price tag while on sale.

A punishing metroidvania with darksouls-esque mechanics. Think salt and sanctuary. The game world manages to be diverse and interesting despite the artistic choice of grey-scale. It just works. New weapons double as tools to help you solve puzzles and uncover secrets. Enemies keep things interesting by introducing new challenges with every new foe encountered. Most importantly this game does not overstay it's welcome. At no point did I feel like progress was a slog. That being said, if you are someone who struggles quickly recognizing patterns and reacting to them then this might not be the game for you. But if you are an enjoyer of games like Hollow Knight then this game was made for you.

Very cool 2D Souls Game with some fresh ideas. Love figuring out the boss fight that reveals new moves gradually as you chip away at their health. By the time you learn all their moves and defeat the boss, you really feel pretty badass, at least I did. The pixel black and white aesthetic is cool and level design interesting. The only criticism I have so far is there is this weird window after an attack where you can't roll for some reason. If you do a sword attack and hit dodge as soon as the sword hits the ground, you can roll. However, if you wait a little bit after an attack and hit roll, your character does nothing. That feels very weird to me. But overall, I highly recommend this.

The first game I played on my Steam Deck and what a great experience. As a big fan of Hollow Knight, this scratched a similar itch, with a much more restrained scope and scale. Bosses were challenging, but fair. They each required careful planning and I enjoyed determining their patterns. My main complaint is that there a few areas that had multiple hyper aggressive enemies on a single screen, which was a pain in the butt to proceed past. Otherwise I absolutely loved the game!

---see where this game landed on my Metroidvania tier list beneath this review!--- Unworthy is one of the very best at capturing the atmosphere and feel of Dark Souls in 2D form with perhaps the next closest being The Last Faith . It's quite difficult and a bit frustratingly punishing. Combat is slow and deliberate. You cannot jump ..sort of. There is a tiny hop in the form of an attack. While checkpoints are usually well spaced apart, others can be quite far. One segment involved about 15 screens without a save point, I just couldn't be bothered repeating this section. There was another section with about 10 screens of enemies between the checkpoint and the boss room, forcing a number of long runs back to the boss fight. I'm usually pretty patient with this sort of thing, but it did ultimately lead to me putting the game down before finishing to play something else. You can only toggle between 2 equipped weapons. Multiple weapons are used as traversal abilities and so it gets frustrating going into your inventory screen all the time to toggle. Unworthy is an impressive souslike metroidvania that will certainly test your patience. ===================== My Metroidvania Tier List (PC) (excluding Metroid & Castlevania titles) ===================== -Not an objective list, purely how much I enjoyed the games- S+ Aeterna Noctis | S Tier (Truly Special) Astalon: Tears of the Earth | Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom | Hollow Knight | S- Blasphemous 2 | Cathedral | A+ Afterimage | The Last Faith | A Tier (Amazing) Elderand | Ori and the Will of the Wisps | Doomblade^ | A- Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights | Depths of Sanity | F.I.S.T. | Pampas & Selene | B+ Blast Brigade | Haak | Turbo Kid | Nine Sols | B Tier (Really Enjoyed) Animal Well | Alwa’s Legacy | Steamworld Dig 2 | Islets | Blasphemous | After Death | Pronty^ | Mortal Manor* | Escape From Tethys | Outbuddies DX* | Monster Sanctuary | Elliot Quest | Rebel Transmute | Moonlight Pulse | Environmental Station Alpha | Biomorph | B- Haiku, the Robot | The Mobius Machine | Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown | Ultros | C+ (Fun) Lone Fungus | Ghost Song | Death’s Gambit: Afterlife | Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night | Kunai | Kingdom Shell | Axiom Verge | Treasure Adventure Game | Infernax | Flipwitch | Momodora 4 | Momodora 5 | HunterX | HunterX: code name T | Curse of the Sea Rats | C Tier (More or Less Enjoyed) Plague of Yamorn* | Column on the Sea | 9 Years of Shadows | Jrago* | Laika: Aged through Blood | MF-01 Aerostrike^ | Xanthiom Zero | Carrion^ | Chasm | Wuppo | The Mummy Demastered | Catmaze | Castle In The Clouds | Omega Strike | Aggelos | Midnight Castle Succubus | Overbowed | Rabi-Ribi | TEVI | Far Star | Sheepo | Elephantasy | Far Star | Unworthy | C- (Meh) Ato | EldritchVania | Cookie Cutter | Rusted Moss^ | Grime | Moonscars | The Messenger | Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth | Iconoclasts | MindSeize | Ebenezer and the Invisible World | Luna’s Light* | Tales of Kenzera: Zau | Gato Roboto | D Tier (Liked some things but ultimately did not enjoy) Castle In The Darkness | Alwa’s Awakening | Nitrojet* | RIN: The Last Child* | Pharaoh Rebirth | Yoku’s Island Express | Guacamelee! 2 | Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse | Beholgar* | Phoenotopia: Awakening | Insect Adventure* | Clunky Hero* | Goo Keeper* | Headlander | Strider | Minoria* | Souldiers | Bone Appetit | The Witch & the 66 Mushrooms | Transiruby | Destroy Space Aliens | La-Mulana | Rex Rocket | Guacamelee! | 8Doors | Timespinner | Super Panda Adventures | Omega Mouse Zero* | Ataraxie* | You are Peter Shorts | Unepic | The Ramsey | E-Tier (Really disliked) Garm Ruins^ | Venture to the Vile | Sheba: A New Dawn* | Ex Vitro | Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap | The Weird Dream | Ginsha | Dandara | Vernal Edge | Blaster Master Zero | Medusa* | Lost Ruins | Sundered | Salt & Sanctuary | Valdis Story | Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet | Touhou Luna Nights | Chronicles of Teddy | B.I.O.T.A. | Shadow Complex | Aquaria | Nyaruru Fishy Fight | Ghost 1.0 | WarriOrb | Feudal Alloy | Apotheon | Future Fragments | Gungirl 2 | Bad Pad* | Chakana* | Lootbox Lyfe | Slavania* | Angel’s Gear* | Fearmonium | Magicians & Looters* | Tres-Bashers* | Arcane Assembly^ | Aeternum Vale* | Troupe* | Silver Axe - The Honest Elf* | Dust: An Elysian Tale | =================== ^ = Mouse & Keyboard are STRONGLY advised. * = Very raw indie or contains some jank or lack of polish. ---------------------------------
