Morbid: The Lords of Ire

better luck next time

*This review was machine translated from Korean to English. Morbid: The Lords of Ire Not Old School—Just Outdated 🚩 A Checkpoint Too Far To put it bluntly, the checkpoint placement in this game is a joke. The real issue is the malice in how they are deployed. Right before you can finally reach a breather, the game hits you with a brutal, soul-crushing encounter that acts as a literal gatekeeper. We're talking completely toxic setups: a chaotic mix of ranged and melee enemies, a large horde backing a high-tier elite, or straight-up throwing two heavy brutes into a tight space together. And the worst part? You can forget about stealth-backstabbing your way through or just sprinting past them to hit the checkpoint. The game deliberately blocks your path and forces you into a locked combat arena. It feels like a cheap, artificial way to inflate the playtime, forcing you into a tedious run-back every single time you die. 🌑 Let There Be No Light The game features a Sanity mechanic where high or low levels grant specific buffs and penalties. The problem starts when your Sanity drops into the "Madness" state. To show this mental deterioration, the environment warps into a grotesque l…

i thought it be a hack n slash, not a dark souls. this is janky. story is copy paste type ooga crap. character is mute. she looks like Gerald from witcher lol. the counter is very small and doesn't just work. finicky and if you try to counter an enemy you aren't locked onto it doesn't work so having multiple enemies is really sloppy. GOW ruined Norse mythos. i really wish someone could get it right.

It just felt like a chore to play.

The game just does not feel good to play. Movement feels simultaneously floaty and clunky, same with the combat. Your stats seem to matter little (like Impact; use a weapon with at 80, versus at weapon with 160+, and proceed to not notice a single difference). Enemies will enter hyper-armour modes seemingly at random, where you cannot stagger them unless you heavy attack. The game loves to lock you into small arenas with multiple big guys with large reach and arcs, and sometimes archers on top of this. There is also no telling you're entering into a forced arena either; sometimes you'll encounter multiple tough enemies and its normal, other times you'll encounter multiple tough enemies, and suddenly walls of blood will spring up out of nowhere and trap you in a small segment of the map. The two dodges feel woefully inadequate for anything tougher than the weakest enemies. A great reliance on parrying, which is a problem with the aforementioned forced arenas. Throw in a basic stealthing system where you sneak up on enemies to deal big backstab damage, but make almost all of those actually be gotcha-moments, where it turned out there was someone else hidden who alerts everyone, …

i tried to give the game i chanse but i cant play it anymore they tried to copy from a loot games like PARRY from daro souls and when there no enemies around you dont lose stamina like lies of p and elden ring even with this copy pest i try it ignoret and i did for a while but the gameplay itself didnt help it all and the poor optimiz the game have does help either so i dont recomened the game
