I was drawn in by the whimsical art and premise, but was disappointed to find that in execution, the game really fails to deliver and lacks an attention to detail. The world and characters didn't charm or grip me, and ultimately I felt no desire to finish it and put it down for good after a few hours.

When viewed in stills, the game manages to present pretty well, but once it's in motion there's a certain desolation to the rigid animation, underdone effects, and empty soundscapes that makes the game feel oddly sterile. The gamefeel is pretty stiff and when put through it's paces the combat proves to be fairly repetitive and lacking in nuance.

Overall Death's Door just feels undercooked, even for something so simple. It's nothing offensive but I'd say give it a miss.
