Fall of Light
As Nyx, an old, retired warrior, evade the Shadows and find your way through the crooked corridors of gloomy dungeons, navigate the treacherous pathways of the darkened overworld and fight emissaries of darkness in long-forgotten temples. Many puzzles and deadly traps stand between you and your goal – to bring your daughter Aether to the last place on the face of Earth that still sees light. Inspired by games such as Dark Souls and ICO, Fall of Light rewards those who explore the world on their own and draw their own conclusions. Meet odd characters, search through every nook and cranny to unlock hidden secrets and learn more about the history and lore of the somber world around you. Pick your favorite combination of close-range weapons, crossbows and shields, determine your fighting stance and get ready to face hordes of crafty enemies. And above all, keep your daughter from harm, as she is the light piercing the darkness and the key to unlocking forbidden passages.

this game is very charming and melancholy
its very easy to cheese the enemies as they dont have many movesets, however its also easy to get stuck on nothing or get fucked over by the controls being a lil clunky - if u took the basic fighting style of the dark souls series but made it top down while having ur bright child follow u everywhere
the games story feels lackluster and while i would like it, the execution on it couldve been better
overall im very mixed on this game and cant give a full you should or shouldnt play it

To note: I'm not a fan of Souls-like or am any good at them so take what I have to say with a grain of salt because I'm going to pour a lot on this. I got this game through I believe either a humble bundle or one of the YogsCast Jingle Jam bundles.
It is a fun and interesting game that does not really offer much in terms of replayability. Almost 100% it the first time through, I probably could have just gotten the last 15 Fragments of Luce and 3 Echoes, but the frustration of the game had me throwing my controller.
Combat is finicky to the point where most of the time I'm left here wondering why I died. I'll be hitting an enemy and they'll somehow manage to sneak five hits in. Meanwhile, half of my swings never connected despite the fact I'm practically humping them. However, it was still satisfying to just take down big bads that have given me trouble at the start with almost one tap.
As for the game itself, it was a nightmare because I set up the brightness to recommended and it ended up making the game almost unplayable. I couldn't tell were ledges were so I fell off. By the way, I also fell down a lot as, whenever I tried to roll, my guy decided to high dive off the edge. Constantly. There is no way to adjust it unless you completely wipe your file which is a pain.
Adding to this is the lack of a map or any sort of hints that would make the game just manageable. It took me several tries to figure out what to do only because of pure trial and error. Secrets are completely hidden so good luck finding them. The puzzles are straight forward enough and I didn't really have trouble getting to the bosses.
Despite all this, I liked the game enough. Not really a favorite, but in terms of Souls-like, this one is at least approachable enough for a beginner. It's hidden behind an Exploration genre which makes it even more of a headache as you'll try to figure out where all the secrets are.

pretty good game, play it for the souls like feel and level design. what it had going for it:
1. the feel of playing the world is thrilling. the minimal combat makes u hate losing so u are always afraid
2. Art style is pretty neat
3. It has little details in what characters do and the world itself making u feel connected to characters
4. engaging world and story
5. Hidden puzzles and items are pretty cool
Things I didnt like :
1. Rollsssss are terribleee I died to rolls more than I died to enemies sorry. my advice is not to lock on to enemies as it makes ur roll go in circles and unpredictable
2. combat is .... well not triple A which I didnt expect but it could have been better
3. It is really annoying that you have to drop your old weapon when u find a new one ? Im even second guessing myself if there was inventory that I missed or smth like that happened
