Even though it's a game that usually falls outside of my enjoyment of narrative games, Death Door drew me in with its exacting combat, inspired art style, complex world design, and rockin' soundtrack. I fell off in the middle of my playthrough due to a difficult boss timed perfectly with me leaving for vacation, but a simple musical cue from the game played during a podcast I listened to brought back an overwhelming desire to come back to the game and see it through (yes, the score is that good!). I am so glad I came back, as the relatively simple story still drew me in as it received most of its development in the final fifth of the game! I highly recommend this game for anyone looking for kinetic, dodge-based combat set in a visually distinct world to a sick score!
