The Unfallens: Awakening

Positives: Looks amazing, runs great (high settings on a PC that meets or exceeds most recommended specs except graphics card), sound is wonderful, controller works in game but mouse recommended for menus, the character design is neat, the animations are flashy.

Minimum technical requirements of combat design for any soulslike game aspiring to be enjoyable.

surely a challenging game, but highly recommended. If you can learn the fight, whcih most people wiull be able to do quickly, it will be highly rewarding. only wish is that there were more game!

good
