Death's Door Reviews
Death’s Door is a game that shows incredible understanding of subtle components that make a game more than a sum of its parts.
Death’s Door is a game that prepares you for the end, relishing in the journey all the same.
Death's Door is a definitive Game of the Year candidate. The story is engrossing, the action is tense and fun, and the game is filled with memorable bosses and characters. I couldn't stop smiling while playing, even at times when I kept dying to challenging enemies. The game can be a bit short if you play straight through, but you will be rewarded if you take the time to explore. Death's Door is a must-buy, and I can't recommend it enough.
Deaths' Door is a real gem: great visuals and art style, a satisfying combat system and an ironic story make it a game to not be missed.

Death’s Door is easily one of the best and well-rounded action games that I’ve played this year. It gets all the basics right and then excels with a compelling story and cast of characters, a gorgeous and interesting world to explore, and combat that is intense and extremely enjoyable. It’s an absolute must and has left me now never quite looking at a crow in the same way, always wondering whether it’s about to attack and reap my soul!
Death's Door uses the classic Zelda template to a great extent, but it doesn't really offer anything new. But what is there is precisely crafted.

Very few games get as much right with their formula as Death’s Door does.

Death’s Door has some fun lore and a fantastic main character; I mean, I love birds, and what’s not to love about a little bird with a sword? The combat is tight, and battles with enemies and bosses never feel unfair. If anything, each failure felt like it was my fault, something I could fix in a future run or my playstyle overall. Everything comes together so well in Death’s Door; it’s just so enjoyable to play. It has become a top ten contender for my games of the year list so far.
The accumulation of so many elements to crow about – characters, polish, creativity, art design, combative pacing, and so on – made it an experience I couldn't put down.
Death's Door easily presents itself as one of the best indie games of the year, with excellent art direction and an inviting combat system that never makes the experience tiring.

Death's Door has very few original ideas, but the flawless implementation of its basic mechanics, combined with a world full of personality and humor, make this ten-hour journey very charming.

If you’re looking for your next world to get lost in Death’s Door is one of the easiest recommendations I can make. Even after beating the game, there is a hefty post-game to dive into.
Sometimes greatness comes not from something new or groundbreaking, but from a fantastic iteration on what's come before. Besides Death Door's story and characters, it doesn't bring much that's new to the table... but it does everything so well that it's earned a permanent place on my shelf of games I bug everyone about until they play.
Death's Door is an isometric action adventure game. Thanks to its inspired art direction and well-balanced experience, Death’s Door is simple, linear and funny from the beginning to the end.

Death's doors manages to amalgamate clear references and give them their own personality that enters as well through the eyes as through the control. All this accompanied by a story that, with each step you take, you want to know more and more about the motives of the characters and the chaos behind everything that rules the world.

Death's Door is not absurdly exceptional in terms of the inventiveness and originality of its gameplay concepts, especially exploration and combat, but Acid Nerve knew how to use the references that already existed in the genre very well to create a product with enough identity to stand out on its merits. themselves.

There’s a reason why Death’s Door won the 2021 Golden Joystick Award for Best Indie Game and was nominated for the Best Independent Game Award at The Game Awards this year — it’s damn good. Nothing is missing here, every component perfectly balanced against everything else to make for a near-spiritual gaming experience. With gorgeous visuals, a stunning soundtrack, multiple combat styles, a mixture of creative comedy and relatable existential crises, and sprawling environments that naturally invites players to explore every pixel, Death’s Door deserves all the praise it’s received and more.
