This game is currently in the Humble Choice for February 2024, this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before March 5th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
There is No Light. Which is a shame because the art here is great.
There is No Light has players exploring a dark underground area while they fight their way through a horde of enemies. While the game does feel a little like a souls-like there’s an interesting difference where players are supposed to attack to disrupt many enemy attacks, and that’s something I like here. There are tight cramped areas, as well as arenas but the entire time the player is traveling through larger areas with a decent number of waypoints.
However, I’m not sure if the story here is bad, or if I just rushed through it. I'm willing to accept the latter, but I also think that the important beats of the story could have been told better, the cutscenes with no text and just silence didn’t help much. Also while I enjoyed the combat, I’ve heard several people call it simple, and it is at least early on, which is what I like about it, but I feel like that's too reductive.
Pick this up if you want an attack-heavy Souls-like with great graphics but still a bit rough around the edges. I found it entertaining but I also can feel this is going to struggle to find the right audience because it’s not as punishing as Souls-like but still is trying to live in that world. There’s also a LOT of text that you can skip, but you’ll be missing the whole world-building.
