SOUL COVENANT Reviews

It took about 8 hours for me to finish the story line. There is a lot of fluff between battles which is supposed to immerse you into the story which it does up to a point. My main issue is that it gives you just a fraction of the overall story but in a way that takes too long. I feel that this is typical of this type of gaming genre. That you are supposed to know what is going on without being given too many details. There are two endings which feels a little bit like the Matrix blue/red pill decision. In any case, yes there is a story and there are dramatic moments but they come all too slow and way to esoteric for my tastes. The graphics for the battles are good but the story/log scenes are basic comic book style. Combat is fairly fun and intuitive. Controls are easily mastered. The upgrade system is fairly basic but it works. If you are looking into leveling up your character, you will need to rerun some of the battles as there aren't enough items & points in a straight through run. My 8 hours were padded with about an additional 1.5 hours of battle replays to get up to a character and weapon that I felt would get me through the final boss. It took me two runs at the final boss to beat it. The issue here is the way too long fluff to get back to the final boss if you are defeated. Yeah, I got why I am fighting the boss the first time, no need to repeat that part over again if I die. I did enjoy most of the game and it is better than a lot of the garbage VR games I played lately. Mild recommendation for the sale price that I got.
