Enotria: The Last Song Reviews
Italian folklore makes for a unique setting, but Enotria lacks the smooth combat and smart mechanics you'd look for in a decent soulslike.
Enotria: The Last Song impresses with fun combat and stunning visuals, but a few technical issues and occasionally frustrating mechanics hold it back.
I found myself circling bosses, trying to back them against a wall so my PC didn't have to render the scenic view on the other side of the arena.
Enotria: The Last Song’s delightful setting, theatre-infused narrative, and mechanical depth help it stand out from the very crowded Soulslike landscape. On the flip side, that depth translates to sometimes poorly explained, unnecessary-feeling complications. Strip all that away, and Enotria: The Last Song is still an enjoyable action RPG that should appeal to almost every fan of the genre.
Enotria: The Last Song is a faithful recreation of the original Souls games with a fresh new coat of Italian paint, and it brings with it enough personality and mechanics to stand on its own two feet. Unfortunately, the experience is held back by performance issues, bugs, and a lack of enemy variety for difficulty.
Enotria: The Last Song is a compelling little soulslike which has enough of its own identity to be worth a recommendation, even if not all of its elements individually work as well. The emphasis on the game's melee combat leaves its magic system a little clunky, and despite an impressive amount of flexibility in the game's RPG mechanics, the ability to swap between different loadouts mid-combat wasn't all that useful. Despite these minor drawbacks, the challenging boss fights, gorgeous art direction and fun exploration make this a worthwhile addition to any soulslike fan's library.
Enotria: The Last Song is an Italian soulslike with a lot to offer, but a long road ahead. Beautiful and cared for sets a good precedent for their study.

Enotria: The Last Song has fun combat and its sun-drenched environments are a breath of fresh air in the genre, even when the unapproachability of its RPG systems prevent it from taking center stage.
The Last Song is a Souls-like experience that takes a lot of big swings, and while there are a few hiccups along the way, many of these risks pay off.
Enotria: The Last Song is a work that stands out for its visual beauty and thematic originality, but that fails to reach the necessary level of execution in its gameplay. The mask system, although innovative, is not well balanced, and the combat, an essential pillar in any Souls-like, is weighed down by imprecise controls and mechanics that limit the player's freedom. The narrative, while intriguing, fails to develop coherently, leaving the player with more questions than answers.

Enotria: The Last Song is a solid entry to the growing souls-like genre and one newcomers to souls-likes could dive into. Between the various fighting styles, multiple possible endings, and Italian-inspired environment, it's definitely worth a try.
Enotria: The Last Song is a solid entry to the genre. Its beautiful design, deep customization, and satisfying gameplay invite players to experience its take on the soulslike formula.
Enotria: The Last Song tends to get lost in its own ambitions. While it breathes fresh air into the grim and hopeless apocalypses souls-likes tend to portray, the additions to the combat and character customization tend to weigh it down. Despite a generally more forgiving difficulty than many other titles, the sheer volume of things to keep track of make this a souls-like best suited for fans of the genre.

Enotria: The Last Song is a bittersweet comedy that could have made a lasting impact if it hadn't stubbornly insisted on being a Souls-like game. Jyamma crafted an undeniably intriguing world and demonstrated the ability to develop fresh and engaging ideas in terms of game design. Unfortunately, everything falls apart due to inexperience, as the foundations that support the game never prove to be as solid and polished as one would expect from a title of this genre. The result is a combat system that feels imperfect, clumsy, unbalanced, and trapped by the notion of delivering a "difficult experience just because the genre demands it."

Enotria: The Last Song is a beautiful, weird tale that almost nailed the gameplay and customization side of a Soulslike. It is by no means a bad game, it’s just not one I can easily recommend for all but the most ardent players of the genre.
