“This Game blew me away. It is one if not the best Soulslikes i have ever played (Soulslikes in outside of Fromsoftwares games). The atmosphere is unmatched - im not lying when i say it sometimes even feels better than…”
“Easy recommendation, if you enjoy exploration games and soul-like combat. Especially exploration. You will get lost. Game doesn't hold your hand at all. Which is a good and a bad thing, depending what you want.…”

“As a lover of Fromsoftware and Souls-like games I've been interested in Bleak Faith for a few years now so I finally picked it up on the most recent Steam sale. Just after a couple hours into this game I'm hooked.…”

“I’m a seasoned vet of souls and souls-like games. Obviously I love the FromSoftware classics and I consider DS1 to be my favorite game of all time. Maybe that’s why I enjoy this game, in its current state in 2026, so…”
“This is a great game. If you like exploring a huge map with cool design and graphics, don't mind getting lost, love the feeling of "What, this path leads HERE???", this game is for you. The fighting is mostly decent,…”

“Absolute masterpiece of an indie souls-like. If you like souls-like on quality level of around Ai limit, Lies of P, or Code vein definitely look no further. The atmosphere and maps are absolutely insane. Most…”

“Its highly underdeveloped game...ALL the comments talks about the atmosphere and the music. Nearly all the souls-like can do that. But the gameplay has many ideas which are good but the execution of the game lacks…”
“This is my third souls like i tried. I don't like them because they always seem clumsy and all that matters are the fights. This one seemed different and intriguing but the first boss fight stopped me. I tried it many…”

“Jank, bugs, awful sound, terrible hitboxes, frame drops. Early Alpha game at best”
“Another souls like that completely trashes you. Pure JANK with totally unrealistic expectations of the player. Extremely poor combat controls that dont even work. A complete waste of time.”
“Just finished the whole game a couple of days ago, and I wish I didn’t!! This game is amazing: the atmosphere, story, levels, everything about it just hit so well! I started to get into souls games recently and saw this…”

“TLDR List of complaints: - No meaningful map system. This one is the real deal breaker in a checkpoint game that demands intensive back tracking and essentially lacks quest markers (no the "scanner" does not count.) You…”
“Yikes. This one is pretty rough. The omnistructure is pretty cool, vast yet intricate, and I like the overall aesthetic of the game. But that's about all I can say for positives. The game runs like absolute garbage,…”
“Bleak Faith: Forsaken is one of those games where I can clearly see the vision, but the actual experience feels like a mess. The setting and atmosphere are genuinely strong. The Omnistructure is oppressive, strange, and…”

“9/10 Bleak dystopian future with Brutalist Concrete 80s architecture. looks awesome, setting is awesome. hard to follow story. nit pick would be some clunky combat here and there and getting stuck on geometry while…”
“This game is unplayable. Not in a technical or buggy sense or because it is so bad, but the areas are SO MASSIVE without any indication where you should go or what to do. I am not talking about handholding, but you…”
“Really good souls-like closest thing to DS1 not made by From Software. Amazing level design, the maps are HUGE and very easy to get lost in, if you love great ambience and exploration in huge decaying megastructures big…”

— a player, Steam review · 25 hrs played“The level design by itself is worth the money, game is jank, combat is decent, armor and weapons are really nice looking, music is very nice. But the level design, it is worth buying the game to just play for 10-20 hours to experience it, even if you hate everything else, pop a…”
— a player, Steam review · 58 hrs played“Bleak Faith: Forsaken is a deeply flawed game. There are some genuinely great ideas here, and you can tell the developers had a strong vision and a ton of passion—but it feels like the scope got out of control, leading to some very questionable design decisions. The best part of…”
