Bleak Faith: Forsaken Reviews
I have to admit that, as a user and expert player of Dark Souls (I have platinum certificates), Bleak Faith: Forsaken initially caused me a lot of rejection because I was not in that comfort zone in which I have been playing for decades. to games of this style such as Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty or Lords of the Fallen, games all cut from the same cloth; “Too many strange things” I thought. I have to admit too that it is plausible that Archangel Studios has opted to innovate and make changes, something risky, but which gives the adventure a certain freshness as well as challenging and with a quite satisfactory final aftertaste when we manage to overcome a challenge (the first will be, without a doubt, the first final boss). What I do want to emphasize and warn everyone is that you have to change the way you play a lot to adapt to this adventure and dedicate a lot of time to it. Also, it must be added that the game has some specific bugs that tarnish the experience as well as lacks some small polishing, but we hope that they will be improved as more updates are released, since, remember, when the game was initially launched The PC game was initially practically broken, but it was improved little by little until the final result that I was able to enjoy. For the rest, we will find an interesting proposal for all those with difficult challenges, but that will make more than one throw the controller out the window, or worse still, towards the television.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a game of contrasts. Its stunning visual design and atmospheric world-building are offset by awful design choices, technical issues, and unpolished gameplay mechanics. Yes, it’s a bit better than it was when it was released a year and a half ago, but it still needs more time to cook. The game’s potential is undeniable, but it has yet to fully realize it.
There's something about "Bleak Faith: Forsaken" that pulls you right into its despondent and desperate world and keeps you there.
In spite of proposing very good ideas and a great evolution, the game is still not in a correct state to have been released as a complete title.

Bleak Faith: Forsaken is running on vibes alone; delivering a bundle of tremendously creative art design and a promising concept, tied together by the weak string of its functionality.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a competent sci-fi soulslike with a beautiful and brutal new world to explore. It’s combat is serviceable, but its lack of explanations, narrative or even lore will leave many floundering without anything much to grab onto. This is one for the really dedicated Souls veteran who leans far to the extremes of the From Software design school.
