Ashen (PC)

I love it. It's different enough from Dark Souls that it stands out and it plays much better than any wannabe Dark Souls clone. I also love how its tone takes a complete 180 from Dark Souls' premise. You're ushering in a new world, the people you meet are given hope, and almost no one dies. Mechanically, there are some UI stuff I like. You can see items in the form of tiny markers that don't detract from the gameplay. The waypoints are sufficiently starved apart. Money purely goes into upgrading your weapons. And it's just fun to see your town center grow each time you return there. No loading times whatsoever unless it's fast travel, you die, and the one major dungeon in the game. I guess if I had one thing to say about it, it's that the enemies and bosses are mostly human. But unlike Dark Souls 2, this is just par for the lore.

It is very strange this game has received little to no fanfare since it came out. Much like Hob.
EDIT: Oh right, its on the Epic store, that's why

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
