60 of 125 · most liked firstOverall I do recommend it - but just barely. I'll start with the pro's: the game is beautiful. The team had a clear art style in mind and they nailed it. Music is by David Fenn who also did the music for Moonlighter and it's absolutely amazing. Dude needs to be hired more cos he's a genius. The characters are quite likable if not a bit forgettable - they get the job done. Onto the cons and why I quit halfway through. The game doesn't have a map function and the paths are windy and hard to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This weekend's new to us indie game was Death's Door published by @devolverdigital.com 🎮 Gorgeous art style where you play as a soul reaping crow. The play style is a mash up of roguelike, soulslike and a splash of Pikmin of all things. Love it. 🪽💚

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fine game, but hard to recommend compared to similar titles. The combat is basic, the story is fairly basic the enemies and enemy types have little variety, the secrets and extra exploration you do rarely grant you anything particularly worthwhile. The environments and art style are rather pretty though, it must be said! That isn't to say it's a bad game, not at all, but it feels like a much more beginner project compared to something like say, hollow knight, which is cheaper with a huge…

Such a beautiful soundtrack and having this wonderful melancholic atmosphere to it, there's some positively wonderful characters, the combat is tough and challenging, and the world design is magnificent.

unlabelledView post →So many aspects of the game were enjoyable. Unfortunately the map traversal was arduous and excessive. Spent most of my gameplay walking. When I was able to actually do something, it was enjoyable. But I spent so much time just walking around on maps that required me to backtrack constantly that I ended up frustrated with how little this game respected my time. I even made it harder for myself and only upgraded the ability that let me walk faster, instead of combat stats, just so I could…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death's Door In this game you play as a crow fledgling, collecting souls and soul orbs, solving small puzzles, fighting enemies and opening new doors that lead to new places. Is this game good? I guess it's serviceable. The game mechanics work, but the map - or rather the lack of one - is your biggest enemy. I had moments where navigation confusion took over everything else. In some places I had to almost take notes, like: "go straight, then right, then right, then left, then take the 2nd…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Death's Door ended up being a really fun game! 🐦⬛ While it was a LITTLE too easy to over-level yourself, the game has a fantastic sense of pace, and a great feel for when to guide the player and when to let the player figure things out themselves. And the post-game! What an extra layer!! 🪨

unlabelledView post →First of all, this game isn’t horrible. I’m only giving it a negative review because I wouldn’t recommend it to someone else. I’ve played this game for about 7 hours, and I found it repetitive. There aren’t many different enemies, and most of them are just stronger versions scattered throughout harder zones. Also, the first three bosses follow the same formula to reach them. Secondly, you rely a lot on soul orbs found in the world to level up. You can gain XP by killing enemies, but it’s…

Thank you for the recommendation! I spent around 15 hours to finish it, at 100% (but without one of the skills fully upgraded)!
unlabelledView post →I really want to play this game. It looks like exactly the kind of game I'd enjoy. It reminds me of fun times I've had playing titles like Bastion, Hades, Enter the Gungeon, and others. But I can't. Because when I try to shoot something with my bow, the camera lurches violently and I start getting motion sick almost immediately. I barely made it through the tutorial before I had to quit. The lurching is completely unbearable with mouse & keyboard controls. I switched to gamepad and it…

unlabelledView post →Aside: For anyone who hasn't played it, Death's Door is currently just $2 That's right you can be a corvid with a laser sword for just $2 You should *definitely* get it, that game is a delight.
unlabelledView post →Death’s Door is a fantastic blend of Bastion and The Legend of Zelda, and it pulls that combination off beautifully. It carries a dark yet oddly cute, eerie tone that just works from start to finish. The world feels melancholic but charming, and the art direction paired with its subtle humour gives it a distinct identity. Mechanically, it’s tight and responsive. Combat feels deliberate and satisfying, with clean dodge rolls, well paced enemy encounters, and smartly designed bosses that reward…

unlabelledView post →Starting Death's Door and this game is pretty fun. The isometric camera & the art style reminds me so much of Tunic. The challenge in this game is less harsh though. Still present, but it's a smoother transition. Overall I'm excited about this one
unlabelledView post →I can't believe I've never reviewed this. I've loved this game since 2021, so much so that five years later I still felt it was worth getting that darn umbrella achievement. It's a remarkable achievement for such a small dev team, and such a fun and engaging experience. I keep looking for games that make me feel like this one did. I've had the soundtrack on constant rotation over the years. One of my all time favorite games. You get to play as a birb. Buy it buy it buy it

Orwell - social media-ish investigation, choice and consequence game Oxenfree - atmospheric creepy game with a unique story Turnip Boy - ITS SO FUNNY JUST PLAY IT Death's Door - it could be a good intro to soulslike games, it's not too difficult!
unlabelledView post →I lack the vocabulary to properly review a game, but I absolutely loved Death’s Door and I’m looking forward to kind of forgetting it so I can play it again. I loved the exploration and combat, the art style, the music, the lore, the characters — basically everything. Just wish it was longer!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Random Game of the Day Day 473 - Death's Door An isometric, hack n slash style game that requires quick thinking and button pressing when fighting enemies. I guess it would be considered a "Soulslike" game. Fantastic art style but man, the final boss was just too hard for me Anyone here a fan?
unlabelledView post →Game 242: Death's Door It's been less than two days since I finished this game, and I already want to play it again. It's amazing. The combat is so simple, yet so engaging. It doesn't have a map screen, yet exploration feels seamless. The bosses, the music, the environments... I love this game.

unlabelledView post →The PS Plus backlog continues with Abzû (@giantsquidstudios.com) If there was a polar opposite of the last game I played (Death's Door), Abzû is it. What a relaxing and beautiful shift. A nice story/message with zero dialog and chill vibes only. Recommended.
unlabelledView post →Death's Door is an aggravating game because it is so incredibly polished and close to being fantastic, but at least for me ended up feeling like an exercise in frustration and test of patience more than anything else. That said I wholeheartedly want games like this to be able to exist, so if you're a fan of isometric action/adventure RPGs, at least buy this when it's on sale. My core problem with the game is it was just never *fun*. The three components of gameplay for a game like Death's Door…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very enjoyable but a little short. Everything about it is fantastic; the combat, art, soundtrack, story, the fact you play as a bird. The only two issues i have with it are its total playtime and combat. Getting all achievements makes you go through every part of the game without missing any area, but is not hard, so don't worry if you like 100% games. That being said, I 100% the game in less than 20 hours. You can make another save, I personally am not interested in making new saves for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent top-down Metroidvania. Spent about 6 hours or so beating the game. There was post-game content, but there's one big thing that made me immediately drop the game after beating and doing the first thing: there is no map. This game likes to sprinkle obstacles in levels that require power-ups from later areas, wanting you to backtrack in order to get things like health & mana upgrades. However, without a map, it's hard to even tell where you are going in the overworld. You can manage on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finished Death’s Door after about 15 hours on Steam (around 12 real hours according to the save file). I unlocked 15 trophies out of 24 and reached 93% completion. I didn’t push for the full 100%, mainly because it requires a lot of small, tedious tasks that didn’t really interest me but honestly, that didn’t stop me from loving the game. I absolutely loved the experience. The gameplay is incredibly satisfying: responsive, smooth, and very well-balanced. Combat feels tight and precise,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a bit like hollow knight but top-down, but a little more straightforward in telling you where to go. it's shorter too but it's a very fun exploration game, i explored nearly the whole game already before 100%ing it where the remaining secrets were fun to find 8/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is such a quality game. Took me while to comeback to this game to finish it now for good. Such an amazing game with good art, combat was alright. cool story. Boss fight were also nice. My 2 main complain personally is not having any kind of navigation system like map and direction cause i dont like to get lost a lot. Another one is the combat difficulty option. surei have played harder game than this but its still hard enough to make you frustrate. There are days i dont wanna play hard…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TLDR: While the price is a little hefty for its length (about 10 hours if you don't reexplore every areas with all your newly unlocked powers and don't keep playing after the ending to get the 2nd ending), its a great game with a pleasant, cute and chill atmosphere, The combat works very well, though it isn't perfect. Story: As a newly assigned reaper crow, embark on a journey to harvest souls to break open Death's Door. What it is and what's beyond it is the endgame so I won't spoil it. Each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I long for another game this good. Fantastic world design, great art style, really fun and perfectly challenging combat. Puzzle make you think, secrets are clever. The story had me locked in. The only negative part is having no map. I read an article that the devs didn’t want one so you would be more immersed and not spend your time in a menu - fair. Expect to get lost at first but you’ll learn quickly. 11/10 game - such fun exploration and combat.

unlabelledView post →This game is such a GEM. The combat, the level design and the overall feel of this game is so good. I have played the dark souls series, but I wouldn't say I'm great at it. The combat and boss fights in this game are exactly my style. Dying isn't punishing, level-up mechanics are simple, and area/map progression is mostly straight-forward. BUT there is a significant and well-designed system of difficulty in these fights, with a simple but effective difference of efficacy between builds. Some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Let me start with the obvious: the art style is awesome. Like, stop-moving-for-a-second-just-to-look-around awesome. Every area is packed with tiny details, clever animations, and visual ideas that make the world feel handcrafted instead of assembled. It’s cute, moody, melancholic, and sometimes downright eerie. Then there’s soundtracks. Death’s Door OST is on another level. Calm tracks that gently pull you in. Intense tracks that make boss fights feel legendary. Music that doesn’t just fit…

Controls are very simple (essentially just dodge, attack, special attack) but I was surprised that some of the later bosses can have fairly tight timing with dodges. Lots of gauntlet-style fights. Music is good. Generally melancholic vibes. The writing is cute and quirky, there are themes of death and moving on but it doesn't present itself heavily. The game could strongly benefit from a map, I would frequently find myself getting turned…

Honestly I don’t care too much about getting all achievements or doing everything there is to do in a game, but with Death’s Door I couldn’t just stop, I went all over trying to find everything I could, and it was DELIGHTFUL! This game was not easy for me, it was frustrating a lot of times.. but never enough that I wanted to fully quit. The challenges at every step of the journey seem daunting but after a few (ok more than few) times of coming…
