As a package, Dark Devotion is an impressive indie that does an astonishingly great deal more to iterate on the Soulslike formula than its bigger budget counterparts. Eye-catching and rewardingly difficult from start to finish, the game is a joy to play and master. Dark Devotion does have its issues, but the smaller ones can be fairly easily forgiven when considering Hibernian Workshop's size. However, the oversight of making a Soulslike that skimps out on the kind of implied narrative experience that coined a genre is a large one, and it's disappointing that it perceptively dulls the game's otherwise stunning impact.

Dark Devotion is currently available for PC, and it will be releasing later in 2019 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
