Enotria: The Last Song Review

Creating a Souls-like can be a bit of a poisoned chalice for developers, mainly due to the immense success of FromSoftware and their insanely popular and refined RPGs that can act like an albatross around the neck of new kids on the block.

However, in recent years, we have seen new IPs take the Souls model and tweak it slightly to provide something that feels fresh and innovative while still paying homage to what has come before.

Just this year, newcomers like Nine Sols and Black Myth: Wukong have burst onto the scene and offer brutal Souls-like experiences well worth playing, and it seems it is now the turn of Enotria: The Last Song.

An Italian folklore-inspired epic that promises epic visuals, deep systems, and punishing bosses. Everything a sadistic Souls fan like myself could ask for. But the question remains, is this game a new Souls-Like hit, or a vague imitation of its predecessors? We find out in our review of Enotria: The Last Song.

[...]

Enotria: The Last Song is a Souls-like experience that takes a lot of big swings, and while there are a few hiccups along the way, a lot of these risks pay off. The freedom to experiment with builds, plan ahead with pre-set Loadouts, and take on the roles of your fallen enemies are all standout features that set this title apart. Which Enotria backs up with impressive visuals, a compelling Italian folklore-inspired world, and several memorable bosses. Sadly, performance issues, a lack of genuine, consistent challenge, and some systems that flatter to deceive stop this game from being a truly iconic game within the sub-genre, but when the curtain closes, and the actors take their final bow, I feel plenty in the audience will be throwing roses and applauding regardless.

Score: 8/10
