Void Sols

Genuinely pretty good. I played it for 5 minutes, decided I hated it.... Then I went into the settings and turned down all the visual distortion stuff, and had a MUCH better time with it. I've played for about 10 hours and I have beat the game. I got a ton of extra achievements, but I've by no means done everything. Though it should be noted, much of my time was spent getting lost... I swear, I get lost in my bedroom, and it's very small. It's a souls like, but it goes so much more than that. Like, if you want the game to be punishingly hard, you can choose that. You can choose to turn down how much damage you do in the settings, and how much damage you take.... Or you can make the game much easier, or even make yourself invincible if you choose. Sometimes the puzzles require you to have psychic powers to get inside the devs mind, and the internet isn't very helpful. If you're using google, as per usual, you should ignore the "AI Overview" it has no idea what this game is, it should really just be deleted from all search results. No clanker overviews, thanks. There's a few good guides on steam, for a particularly bewildering code puzzle. And locations for mushrooms and fish. But the other guide on steam is out of date... And that's it for guides. But I'm an idiot, and I managed to get through it, so I should imagine you'll be able to as well. If you do get stuck, some people have uploaded playthroughs on youtube, so you could watch those for help. ^_^ Some of the sections in the end game made me suspect I had eaten too many mushrooms. But ultimately, it was fun to explore and I'm sad that I've finished the game. Because I really did have a good time. I look forward to playing again in future. I hope you give this a go as well, but more than that, I hope you have as much fun as I did. Thank you for reading, have a lovely day. <3

Great little soulslike adventure, absolutely worth a go...

The only thing this game fails to do, is to advertise how good it really is. Its steam page and trailer seem to lean into the "abstract" part of the theme, while the game is at it's core very atmospheric. Void Sols took me by suprise: I expected short, simple adventure, and here I am after 14 hours, still playing, still discovering new weapons, relics, mechanics, builds, enemies and bosses, in a game that's a very successful love letter to Dark Souls, and a one without annoying camera.

An incredibly fun souls-like with excellent level design and one of the best final bosses I've ever experienced!

I really liked the level/world design throughout and the direction the game took towards the end- the final boss felt very fun and unique

As a soulslike addict, I can confirm this game has the sauce; it impressively translates the core combat design / philosophy of dark souls into a top down 2D style, and I think it absolutely did the idea justice. It took about 9 hours for my first playthrough, and the entire time I was pleasantly impressed by the level design, enemies, weapon / tool variety, and music. Bravo to everyone who worked on Void Sols - I had fun. 8.5/10 (Honestly, my only gripe was that I was a bit surprised when I reached the final boss, simply because I wanted to experience even more. I'd love a sequel or DLC, but sometimes, something great isn't properly recognized until it's already too late. Regardless, I'm a fan of this team. Awesome OST too!)

A simple souls-like that offers great feeling parry, ability to respect at any time and puzzles that make this top down souls-like a must for fans of the genre. Also the final boss has no right to go so hard for a budget game.

Amazing game! Far more deep than the demo could led to think

absolutely fire game i dont know what the lore is exactly but theres some in a few areas that was surprising mildly difficult (i haev skil isuue)

Surprisingly interesting world to explore with cool secrets. Good build variety despite the minimalism.
