A bit short and a bit too easy, but good
I enjoyed all of the content. The game looks great, combat was fun and satisfying. I especially liked the design of the Eternal Narthax chapter, which to me felt like a mix between a monument and a nightmare landscape -- at any rate, a place not meant for humans. The game is quite short (about 1/5th of the DS3 base game would be my guess). It is light on story (which, in most such games, is mainly there to take you from one cool place to another), but Mortal Shell's story feels even more shallow to me than that of other similar games. There are mentions of religions that focus on pain, but at the end of the game, I knew no more about the nature of the gme world and the Foundling than I did at the beginning. My main criticism is that the boss fights are too easy. One of the main bosses, the Twice-born, I was able to beat on the first encounter -- this should not happen in a soulslike! Imrod took 4-5 tries, the final boss about an hour. The "hardest" battle was against the First Martyr, where I kept dying because I didn't realize that the fog at the edge of the arena was chilling me (I thought it was a special attack that I didn't know how to prevent). After I read up on the fog, I beat the boss on my next attempt. And no, I'm not that "gud". Soulslikes are, to a large extent, about practicing your way to victory. So it makes no sense to have bosses that require little to none of it. Even compared with games like Hellpoint and The Surge (i.e. Dark Souls 3), the game is a bit short and a bit on the easy side, but what it offers is really fun. One final negative point is that the developers don't seem to pay any attention to GOG. On both Steam and GOG, the game was more expensive as a pre-order than at launch, essentially screwing over precisely those who want to support the developers most, but an official apology for the mistake was only posted on Steam. Still, I'd rather give the developers money here than elsewhere...
