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.

Solid metroidvania souls style game.

Pros:
-Simple but enjoyable combat (simple in terms of movement, not meaning its easy)
-Pretty cool black and white art style though it does lend itself to lack of variety in terms of visuals.
-Fun boss fights
-Only a few different weapons to choose from but they are very different in style
-Clever enemies that have difficult patterns.
-Solid challenge
-No handholding
-Nice dark oppressive atmosphere

Cons
-Elevators and ladders. Good god the sheer amount of them and no way to speed up the process. No sliding down ladders etc. REALLY hurts the games pacing and god help you if you get lost because its a good while before fast travel is unlocked. Enjoy those elevators. You will be seeing them a LOT.

-Some more music and visual variety would have been nice.

-Character progression seems quite underbaked. You have a cool skill tree but you need boss items to unlock them and there is so few bosses that you barely make any headway through the skill tree before the credits roll. Very very odd progression.

Overall solid game thats well worth playing for those that enjoy souls games or metroidvanias with a challenge and not much handholding. Very impressive for such a small team. Good job.

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

An excellent soulsvania. The monochromatic minimalist aesthetic is a sight to behold and the world itself is very well designed with the protagonist's inability to jump being taken into account. At no point do you really feel held back by the lack of jumping. Indeed, the game would be made worse by adding such an ability. The boss fights are all great, presenting a worthy challenge. Plenty of secrets to be found and a surprising amount of exploration in what is otherwise a fairly small game. Took me about 20 hours to 100%. Worth the price.

If you liked the following games you will like Unworthy. Likewise, if you liked Unworthy you may like the following:

1. Blasphemous 1 (This game and its sequel are in my top 5)
2. Blasphemous 2
3. The Last Faith
4. Metroid Dread
5. Bloodstained: Circle of the Night
6. Grime
7. Every other soulvania you've ever heard of.

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
