Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a very tasty hybrid, not without flaws, but for the operation set up, it proved to be extremely fun and well packaged. The artificial intelligence of the enemies needs to be reviewed and a whole long-term structure regarding weapons, armor and skills is missing, but for the hours that will keep us glued it is that completely made game, which runs too fast with the plot and makes it almost a 'appendix, but in the end the fun is elsewhere.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a breath of fresh air when it comes to the Souls-lite genre. The challenging combat, unusual lore, and well-crafted environments blend the new with the old in an original way. While the gameplay could be more refined, the game succeeds in making the genre more accessible. The story is rather quick on the draw at the start and the ending trails off suddenly, but the relationship between Nor and Enki is enough to carry the bulk of the narrative. As a first entry, Flintlock is off to a solid start, and I look forward to having more adventures with this unlikely pair.

soooooo overhatet!! Nice ideas and nice combat but its obviously AA and not AAA.... the animations are AA and some animations. Personaly I thinks the bosses are much harder then the rest of the game. I love the fantasy setting and the story (there isn't much story, only the dynamic between nor and enki)

It was a fun game that many people are missing out on for a very stupid reason. The platform movement is fun, the fights ar tough, the world is massive and secretive and the graphics are beautiful. I don’t understand the trend on hating something because of a smallaspect of the game. Give it a go, I had a blast and enjoyed my time with it.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an approachable action RPG with satisfying combat but a narrative that unfortunately left little impression on me. While combat itself is enjoyable, battle variety is somewhat lacking, quests feel typical, and the narrative is forgettable.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an action-RPG that delivers on most of its promises, along with some solid side content that is well worth indulging in – even if the full game isn't anything particularly remarkable.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a sublime semi-open world that champions quality over quantity, but unrefined combat puts a damper on A44's original gunpowder fantasy.
Battles are challenging but never reach the nerve-wrecking tension of a proper FromSoftware title, though boss fights do come close later in the game.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn simply isn’t memorable in any way. It has perfectly fine combat, but it’s filled with little frustrations that bury the few innovations that work. Movement outside of combat is often unreliable and satisfying, and it’s all backed up by a story that failed to grab me at every turn. There are glimpses of good ideas, but none of them ever get fleshed out.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is A44 Games' bravest work and it impressed us in a positive way. The combat system and the dynamism of the battles are its strength, trying to capture a large audience of gamers. Exploratory freedom and design choices are an element that has been well studied when approaching the main quest, secondary missions and object searches. The game produced by Kepler Interactive is a large work and suitable for attracting many players but it does not make inroads like the original Ashen which shone with its own light. Certain design choices are not balanced with the challenge introduced.

It's an enjoyable soulslike game. Comparable to sekiro because it is also very parry heavy.
I didn't really enjoy the first 2 hours of the game. The main character was annoying for me and you have limited abilities.
After the first 2 hours the main character stops saying/doing annoying things and you get extra abilities/options.
I just wish they went with a different main character and gave you more abilities from the start.
Overall I still enjoyed my playthrough and it's definetly worth a play.
(Especially on gamepass or while on sale)

Where Should I Start, everything in this game is as flawed as its implementation, you can see it from the very beginning of the game, and you'll see it to the end.
It's a game that pretends to look and feel like a quality game but it just really is not.
And don't just take it from me look at the character, the main character is an abomination of cheekbones and skin.
The fact that developers at the end of their development said yeah this game is ready is probably the most barbaric misconceived idea that existed in their minds. Therefore I shall award this soulless game a 4/10.
Do not buy it at release, do not waste your time, in fact just forget this game even exists.

It's unbelievably clunky. The parry window is generous, but it's inconsistent, and sometimes you miss the parry because you stand too close to the enemy WTF? The distance you need to travel back if you are killed is ridiculous. The world is empty and anti-exploration. The performance is atrocious. My GPU handles most games with Ultra settings easily, but with this game I get stutters with High settings.
