43 Comments

1. I was looking forward to this game and now that you reviewed it ,I'll pass. Thank you.

2. am i the only one who thinks this games looks to much like Worlds Adrift in Design?

3. Noble Lords of Cinder… The fire fades, and the Lords go without thrones. Surrender your fires, to the one true Heir. Let them grant death to the old gods of Lordran

4. Looks dumb and boring

5. Is there any magic builds in this game?

6. Absolver and dark souls

7. This game looks really bad lol

8. I would just like to remind people, Dark Souls is not difficult, it was never difficult. Yes some may find it to be challenging, but it truly isn't, it's just a game that expects something of the player, namely competence, and some initiative, stepping into the games world. The only Dark Souls game to be difficult so far was probably Dark Souls 2 due to a somewhat "unfair" hollowing mechanic, that has explanation in the lore by the way. If anything almost every mechanic of the game can be described by lore, or is used to explain lore. (I personally would never ever blame Dark Souls as a game for being to difficult at least in the instance of PvE now PvP thats another story lol, and I am not exactly amazing at the game trust me)

9. You like it because it’s easier. Pretty much everything you liked about this game is in DarkSouls except the difficulty. ??

10. For all those that you believe that dark souls invent 3rd person action games, i say that there are other tons of games 15 years before the dark souls game.

11. How long this game lasts? I wanna play co-op but don't wanna invest a lot of time.

12. This is a review I wanted. Someone who isn’t a dark souls fan who can give me an honest review. As a dark souls vet I can definitely say this is a game I’m interested in getting.

13. Dark souls 2 .0

14. Is this essentially DS go? Would like input from DS vets

15. Hail the lord Dragon.

16. play bloodborne

17. after watching the video, it is painful to see one major flaw in this game, and a reason why most clones don't cut it, there is no weight, no physical manifestation of the enemies and weapons, i can't explain it, but most dark souls fan knows what i mean, the ''ooomph'' of a blow, the presence of enemies….in one scene when fighting that teleporting enemy, u can see that u can pass right through him….the game looks good, but not $40 good for me, and i will wait for the ps4 version…

18. Dark Souls mixed with Runescape.

19. How do i teleport by the touch stones for xbox one?

20. This ashen is shit. Looks like a ps2 game

21. This is a good game

22. Looks interesting, maybe I'll give it a try next summer or next time I'm not overwhelmed with games.

23. Easier Dark Souls with a partner? I’m in

24. No face is just stupid.

25. I just started reading the Wheel of Time series. Love the name brudduh!

26. I really really wish we had Subnautica or another survival game on the game pass 🙁

27. Man you mentioned Journey. That game left an imprint on my soul. It got me thru some bad days too, tbh. There was something always amazing & moving about working with someone else never being able to know who they are, where they are. You were likely never to meet that person again, but who would knows ? Experiences man. Experiences. So you mention Ashen & Journey… I'm on it! Plus, what do I have to lose with GamePass? In fact, I feel you're losing if you don't have GamePass. The service is killing it AND at 10 bucks? C'mon man.

28. Small variety of weapons, bows are totally absent, swords too. No upgrades for armor stats. It's late 2018 and your character still can't swim, drowns 2 feet away from the shore.
    Visually is beautiful.

29. Looks like they even copied off of destiny 1 in those giant stone structures. That was my favorite structure in destiny so I’m excited

30. Absolver meets dark souls

31. they should put this on nintendo switch

32. I’m so relieved it’s on PC, I was worried me selling the Xbox One would bite me in the ass

33. How do you invite a friend?!?!?

34. God this game looks like such a boring soulless clone

35. This guy is ridiculous… He doesn't like dark souls. But he states his reasons for liking THIS game… Because the characters don't have faces!? Because the graphics are worse!? Because the combat is easier!? Because the game has and AI character that does most of the work for you!? Ummm mm yeah… I was interested in this game.. Now I think I'll pass.. Seems like a $5.99 game….. Not a $40.00 game! I'll be waiting for a sale. If that…

36. I don’t mind clones of dark souls if they are decent. This on the other hand is dull that has child like visuals. They should’ve made it more difficult. When it comes down to £20 I might give it a play through.

    The surge is a far better clone of darks souls than this, it’s like £15 and will definitely give you a good challenge, no multiplayer though.

37. Wait till you fight Amiren that boss was pretty cool looking and threw me off guard with his crazy move set.

38. Is it just me or did that boss have the same move set as artorias?

39. I really like how it looks and seems to play

40. Why does this look like it's 20FPS AND in slow motion? Is there a weird encoding error with this video? Is it running at like 70% speed? I'm confused, the game isn't really this slow is it? Seems like the only things NOT in slow motions n are the breath weapons of some wolf looking things!

41. Gay soy boy afraid of dark souls lol. Can only do this game with a friend hahaaa…quite sad.

42. i just downloaded this on my xbox one X, its running at 30 fps and isnt as responsive as Dark Souls. I am incredibly disapointed.

43. My game is in japanese or somthin? Do anyone know how to change that?
