Extremely well crafted action-adventure
If you've been missing a "proper" action-adventure in the vein of the oldschool Zelda titles (you know?, the ones where you didn't have to worry about weapon durability, inputing motion commands to use items or stamina bars, just good ol' fun exploration and adventure), look no further, Death's Door is the game for you. There have been a couple of decent indie action-adventures in recent times, like Hyper Light Drifter, Owlboy, Titan Souls, Iconoclasts, etc, but, unlike those, Death's Door isn't a pixel art game, which feels refreshing to me (as much as I'm a sucker for pixel art, it's also nice to see a game in this genre using a different style). Speaking of indie titles in this genre, if you enjoyed Hob (RIP OG Runic Games), you'll LOVE Death's Door. The plot is lighthearted enough but still engrossing and "serious" in the right amount, the world and character design is absolutely gorgeous, there are A LOT of hidden secrets for players to find, including some side challenges, in case the engaging combat is getting too easy for you. The controls are, honestly, some of the best I've come across in games of this type -- and I say this as a keyboard+mouse player, it really does play wonderfully. It's also pretty well optimized, you will probably be able to run it satisfyingly in a machine way below the official minimum specs -- even if you have to lower the resolution to 720p and turn some bells and whistles off, the game still looks beautiful. I honestly don't know what to add to this. I'm in love with this game, it's definitely one of the best titles I played in the last 5 or 6 years. If you like/miss "original" action-adventures with no crafting, no stealth, no BS, this is the game for you. Oh, also, despite what some people have been assuming, this is NOT trying to bank on the Souls-like craze. It's NOT a Souls-like. And that's great, in my book, too.
