The new action-RPG Death’s Gambit is an ambitious, initially attractive 2D souls-alike, but it frequently stumbles where it should soar.
Half-Glass Gaming: "If you're looking for something to play now that you've conquered The Lands Between in Elden Ring, here are five great games with rich worlds, bosses, and lore to discover."
Returnal
Sifu
Doom Eternal on Hard (aka Ultra Violence)
Horizon 2 on Very Hard
Last of Us series on Very Very Hard (aka Grounded, appropriately named…)
Uncharted Series on Very Very Hard (aka Crushing)
Halo Infinite on Very Hard (aka Legendary, also appropriately named…)
Gears series on Insane (bring a friend)
Batman Arkham City on Hard (and remove the counter prompts… GL)
RE Village on Hard
MGSV without enemy markers and “reflex shot” (and forgo the tranq gun and still try to stay no lethal, if you think you’re Boss 🤙).
Control (only one difficulty, so it ain’t easy)
Ninja Gaiden
Vanquish
Really most decent games become Souls-esque once you go above normal mode. Alotta devs balance them well, so they are worth exploring if you need more Souls challenge.
Some great choices here! And totally agree about some games being kinda Souls-esque when you scale up the difficulty setting!

i think this true score, i played first 5 hours, not worth second run, uninstall. now wait bloodstained rituel of the night
I bought this & Dead Cells,played about an hour of Death's Gambit & it's ok but I'll think before I sink hours into the game I'll wait for updates for the game. Dead Cells is a winner!! DC is so fun,sometimes frustrating but so addicting.
This game was in development hell for awhile. Never trust that pattern.
Well I think it is excellent,.. Dead cells is way different game and I love that also,.. but this is very well made 4/5 for me it is just slower paced and I love it for that,.. because I love grinding and stuff like that (and progression actually stays on your character ,.. and you can feel it,..(only ran with soldier) also characters are pretty well done,.. Bosses are awesome (some of the best designed encounters in a 2D action RPG) ,.. way better than in Salt & Sanctuary,... I like the art a lot,.. Right now I am playing dead cells,.. grinding/dying,.. I kinda like progression in Death's gambit better
No way this game is 2 out of 5 reached the 4th boss and I'm enjoying it so far.
