So I was curious to see how Ska Studios would change things up in the sequel to try and set itself apart, and it turns out the answer was: grab a great big handful of Monster Hunter and pack it into the Dark Souls mix.īut we get ahead of ourselves. But when we bring in covenants, co-op signs, and messages left behind by other players, it starts to feel like we've just copied a very successful student's homework. A bleak world where killing enemies gives the player exp points, you lose all your exp points if you die and need to recover them from your point of death before dying again lest they disappear forever, and fights revolve around stamina management and careful roll timing these are all pretty part and parcel of the genre. The first title, Salt and Sacrifice, was so Dark Souls in nature that it felt dangerously close to just being a two dimensional copy of its big brother.
#Salt and sacrifice reviews series
Salt and Sacrifice comes to us from Ska Studios, and is the second entry in the Salt series of Soulslike games.
After receiving my heretic’s branding from Gabe Newell, I opened up Salt and Sacrifice and stepped dazed into a new world, ready to experience its sights and sounds, before being killed in two hits by a giant elephant wielding what appeared to be the world’s largest cast iron frying pan. So I held my nose and, after apologizing to my family, finally took the plunge and defiled my computer with the Epic Games launcher. My intention had been to review Salt and Sacrifice on the PS4, but my console went on the fritz, and with PS5s being slightly rarer than living bengal tigers at the moment, my only option for playing Salt and Sacrifice was PC. It really can’t be overstated how much game reviewers sacrifice sometimes. By Paul Broussard, posted on / 1,469 Views
