    Product received for free through a curator I write for, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32732116-IndieGems/] IndieGems. This has no effect on what I say in my review. I also have my own personal curator, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42611293-Elysian-Reviews/]Elysian Reviews. I was drawn to this game at first by its name, and then a look over the Store page where the strong themes around nature and old Gods really appealed to me. Then I played it, and a good deal of…

    ex natura definitely looks interesting at first glance, with a promising level design and excellent lightning, so it got a decent atmosphere going, but in all honesty i can't recommend the game at this point since it got an abundance of glaring and kinda game breaking issues, even for an early access title. - terrible optimization and performance, it's almost unplayable for me. settings are basically cosmetic and i've got the same abysmal fps on all of 'em. frames are dropping heavily as well.…

    Enter a world where nature's delicate balance has been disrupted, where the forces of corruption and destruction threaten to overtake the beauty that once thrived. Blackburne Games presents Ex Natura: Nature Corrupted, a thought-provoking and visually stunning game that stands out from the crowd and offers a truly unique gaming experience.

    Final Verdict: Avoid! This is the Wish version of Dark Souls. "Mom, can we get Dark Souls? You already have Dark Souls at home" ... I made a big mistake accepting a free Steam key for this game. Okay, why am I giving this game a negative review after only 30 minutes of gameplay? Well, the game crashed once in my 30 minutes of play. The game is not optimized. On my RTX 3080, on high graphical settings, with V-sync set to 60 fps, frame rates would drop throughout my 30 minutes, making the game…

    If you are tired of casual games, then this game is your choice. However, do not think that there are all complex mobs that have a million health and the same amount of damage. No. This game is difficult due to its unique mechanics, action movies, and interesting enemy placement. And, of course, the redesign. He is simply gorgeous in this game. The way these locations are intertwined with each other... I have not seen this in any game. And he also makes a corridor game - almost an open world…

    At this time i can't recommend the game, because of the many, many bugs and bad optimization. The optimization i don't mind so much, but the bugs/glitches are truly gamebreaking. Enemies that don't walk but weirdly glide towards you, enemies getting stuck in almost everything. The first glowing tree that you encounter where you can level up, save your game and brew potions is almost unusable, because at the moment you activate the tree an enemy spawns and begins to attack you while you are…

    The enemies have cool models and I really like the voice overs. The game ran fine on my 1660 Super and Ryzen 3600 at 80 fps on low settings, occasionally dipping into 50 fps but rarely stutters. It has good potential if the devs keep improving it.

    This game is just horrible. It runs like crap, has basically no options in the options menu, the gameplay is bad, movement is stiff, jumping is weird, the combat is bad. I played many soulslikes from good to bad but this is the worst. It is the worst soulslike and one of the worst games a played. Please don’t buy it since it won’t get updated anymore. The game tells its version 1.3. can’t imagine playing it on version 1.0. must have been a mess to play.

    I honestly don't know where to begin with this one. So, let's start at the end of the review I guess... I don't recommend anyone buy this game unless you have the money to burn. This game has many technical issues from a game design and performance aspect. My overall rating for this game is a 3.5/10. In terms of the game play, combat is really bad. Enemies slide all over the map while fighting you, there is no soul in how they are programmed. They basically sit in one place until you…

    A mess unplayable An indie soulslike can be good. Developers may not have the budget or other resources to rival From Software, but their passion for their own game usually shines through. In Ex Natura's case though, some resources may have gone into it, but no effort went into the game itself. This really shows in the many glaring issues that make it so your time and money are better spent elsewhere. Where to even begin here? I can look past the rather corny voice acting and the three…

The game's storyline is set in a fantasy world where players take on the role of a lone adventurer tasked with exploring a sprawling open-world environment filled with perilous enemies and deadly traps.

    This game runs great on my low-end PC. Its optimization is better than I thought it would be. I don't think that gameplay of Ex Natura is identical to any souls-like game, which is great because I've got overwhelmed by repetitive AAA games. Ex Natura brings a lot of new features and mechanics to the gaming table. Some of them are enjoyable at first sight while others are so unique that you need to get used to them. Needless to say, the gameplay is kinda buggy/stiff, and the camera angles are…

    Ex Natura correctly applied all the important elements of the Souls-like genre. It offers tough fights, mechanics that require strategy, and a deep sense of exploration. The graphics and sound design are also quite successful. If you're looking for a small budget but impressive game, I recommend trying Ex Natura!

The game, which draws attention with its atmosphere and combat mechanics, offers a new surprise in each discovery. Thanks to challenging fights and smooth controls, the game offers an immersive experience for hours. If you're looking for a tough fight, don't miss Ex Natura Nature Corrupted!

    This game is trying something new. For that reason alone, it is worth supporting the company. I really like the feel of dark souls but I also loved the fast paced combat system. Most of the souls like games are sticking to the same formula dark souls has. Minimizing the mobility of the character shouldn't be equal to souls like gameplay and this game managed to break that cycle. I loved the fact that you can progress the character like a classic RPG game and the devil may cry type of fast…

    This is a solid game. Its only $2 dollars right now and its like a fortnight style Dark Souls. So if you like Dark Souls games and they seem too complex and you want an easier way to experience that. There seems to be some really cool mechanics, I really like the dodge and magic ability you start out with. I have not played it long enough to go in any depth, but so far seems like a solid game.

    No, just no. It's in alpha state basically. Needs a VERY large QoL pass. While the game seems to be 'complete', it is VERY barebones and seems like a heavy ripoff of Elden Ring or something like it. Very janky as well. You've been warned. Maybe at like 95% off this might be interesting to punish yourself trying to complete it, if you happen to have played all the other souls-likes. Even then, you're better off just replaying better titles.

    Ex Natura: Nature Corrupted, developed and published by Blackburne Games Yazılım A.Ş., is an ambitious attempt to fuse souls-like combat design with a mythological, nature-driven world that leans heavily into themes of decay, imbalance, and elemental power. It positions itself within a familiar genre framework but seeks distinction through its environmental identity and philosophical undertones, presenting a world shaped less by human conflict and more by the corruption of something ancient and…

Resource management and crafting are central, while combat is infrequent but tense. A slow burn, perfect for fans of atmospheric survival games, but potentially too challenging for casual players.
