Grim Plays: Somber Echoes!

Game: Somber Echoes (Rock Pocket Games/Lav Games)

This is a mix of Metroid Dread, God Of War and maybe a little bit of Dark Souls. Not too much of a soulslike, but elements are there and they've even made things a bit easier with the spear as you'll see, so it's not just parry/parry all the time. Also, the world is so vast, you're not quite as locked into one area as Dread was - and this feels VERY Metroid. I found myself curious at all the different kinds of alien lifeforms. No, I wasn't going to fight that big slug guy at the bottom of the Grove area. Just seemed like a very bad idea.
