Unworthy

I did enjoy the game and have crystal clear memories from some of the boss fights. Although; I have to say, I do not consider myself an experienced souls-like player, yet the game was not as difficult as it is portrayed to be by some of the reviewers here. It will take some practice, if you have not played any similar games before, but it should not frustrate you or make you spend a lot of time to improve your skills, if you attend to it and do not rush yourself.

7 YEARS LATER and Unworthy has taken in a spot in my tops games.
YES this game is easily close to Dark Souls, but IT IS SO MUCH MORE. If you're stuck on whether to buy the game or not because it seems like a 2D souls rip off, trust me don't let that stop you.
Originally I found the game to be too difficult for me. However, I decided to endure through the pain and, oh my god, I have never felt so satisfied to have beaten a game. THE GAME IS CHALLENGING but it still leaves room for almost any player to improve.
The boss fights in particular are more about learning their attacks and when to dodge. While some weapons are better for bosses, you can kill them with anything once you've learned the timing. I was only able to defeat two bosses in one attempt, the rest took multiple.
The art style is PHENOMENAL! I fell in love with the world almost immediately. The designs of everything and the soundtrack makes it so easy to just be sucked right in. I found this game pretty difficult to put down.
SPOILERS:
As been said multiple times, the most annoying thing about the game is the NG+. While your levels and atonements transfer over, being forced to regain your weapons and relics is for sure a put off. ESPECIALLY since the game requires two playthroughs in order to do the true/secret ending. Now, if you're like me and messed up in your first playthrough (which you can do without even realizing it), having to do play through the entire game three times is not fun.
However, if you have no attentions to do the true ending then this won't effect you. If you do plan to go for it, though, I recommend looking up a guide to save yourself a ton of time.

A GREAT METROIDVANIA/SOUL GAME... THE GAME DOESNT DISSAPOINT ME.

I was very skeptical with the game cause of the comments, but I give it a try. The game is very fun with great mechanic.
My suggestion for improvement probably ONLY the button for use ITEM can be added. Cause without quick button, the items can only use before combat..

BRAVO UNWORTHY

I can't get past even the very first boss in the game and there doesn't seem to be any way to upgrade myself this early or bypass it, and it's too late to refund so I thin I might just be ♥♥♥♥♥♥

Very good metroidvania and soulslike, did not find it so hard but sometimes had a hard time finding where togo. Combat is satisfying, music and art are good, controls are neat. Play this game if you enjoy challenge and finding stuff out without too much hand holding.

awesome metroidvania, its just a shame that same people wont bother with the true ending. but its a smooth and sometimes hard game.
My complaint its that i would like to see, in some places, a bigger contrast between the background and some other objects in the plain where the player is, and the player.

I think its really worth the money, and take it from me , that i dont like to spend money on games.

My score is
90 out 100

Every so often I think about this game. Enough time has passed that I could probably play through it again and have it be close to a first time playthrough. Not quite, as I still remember many of the secrets and a few of the bosses. Are some of those secrets unfair? Only one. And that's if you want to fight the true final boss.
It's the presentation that gets me. It's the style and tone. The combat is slow and methodical, yes. Some weapons are much stronger than others. But it was the dark fantasy world and the characters and places in it that drew me in.
Even with 'dark fantasy world' being a dime a dozen setting these days, I'd still recommend this game to folks. It's hard, sometimes in not fun ways. It holds its secrets tight to its chest. There are weapons that are too good to not use. But it has heart. It has passion behind it. In the age of genAI games flooding the market that is something that needs to be cherished and appreciated.
