Death's Gambit Reviews
The visuals are pretty and the exploration is great, but the combat is unfortunately rather tepid, and hit detection can be disappointing with a slight delay to the attacks. Death's Gambit can also suffer from awkward difficulty spikes and there is a distinct lack of memorable boss fights, but it is overall an enjoyable product that is recommended for fans looking for a Souls-like experience.
Death's Gambit is an outstanding and challenging 2D action RPG Metroidvania that has finally been released on PlayStation 4. It's been over three years since the game was announced as a PS4 release, and I'm happy to say that the wait has been worth it. This is a very addictive game that will grab you from the start and won't let go. Dying only fuels your drive to go back and do it all over again, as you learn from your mistakes and try to recover the last feather (or two) you lost in the process.
Death's Gambit isn't perfect, but it is damn good, and it meshes together two different genres with a lot of style and charm.
Death's Gambit is a fun game, it doesn't provide anything out of the ordinary and has some issues here and there. it's just an average experience after all.

Death's Gambit provides an interesting 2D challenge with its dark world filled with fierce enemies. While I can't recommend it for everyone, anyone who likes challenging 2D action-adventure games will enjoy this title.
Death's Gambit has all the makings of a fantastic 2D Souls-like experience.
Death's Gambit makes a literal and blatant use of a multitude of mechanics, concepts and aesthetic aspects directly imported from Hidetaka Miyazaki's work, but, despite its ups and downs, it manages to differentiate itself enough to have its own personality.

Despite its shortcomings, Death's Gambit is a strong game and has enough quality to be a possible contender for Indie of the Year. Highly recommended for Dark Souls fans and RPG gamers alike.
Death's Gambit does a good job of blending a beautiful pixel world with the challenge of a souls-like game while still managing to be easy for newcomers. Minor gripes keep it from being a solid A.
In Death's Gambit we find a "I want but I can't". It will like to the fans of the "soulslike", but they will stay with a bittersweet taste for its mistakes and lack of personality.
