Death's Door
Reaping souls of the dead and punching a clock might get monotonous but it's honest work for a Crow. The job gets lively when your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a realm untouched by death - where creatures grow far past their expiry.

“Music is phenomenal. Graphics are beautiful. Combat is fun. Really love this game.”

“The start was great but then... it became kind of boring. Its too easy and repetative, so im having zero fun to finish this game. Not my cup of tea but the story is awesome and i love concepts and its charming style”

“Death's door gives me what I haven't gotten from Zelda games in a long time. Everything feels meticulously crafted, the humor is great, and the combat is challenging without becoming too difficult.”

“I played Death's Door when it released, it was my GOTY 2021 and is still one of my favourite games of all time. I recently replayed it, completing the umbrella run to get the remaining few achievements. I can gladly say…”

“If you like short easy Zelda like games then this is quite enjoyable. Isn't like something insanely unique or special but it's alright.”

“I read many reviews talking about how good this game was. I couldn't get into it. I found it boring with little motivating me to continue exploring. Combat is simple. Art style is lovely. Story is lackluster.”

“The amazing artistic choices, with the contradiction between the calmness and cosiness of the game's settings and it's souls-like mechanics creating a visually appealing and unique game. However I'm convinced that you…”
“Death's Door is a game that managed to lose me in under 20 minutes, which is genuinely impressive considering I gave it a fair chance. I do not do cardio at the gym. I avoid it at all costs. And yet somehow my cardio…”

“An amazing souls-like for beginners and a good one for experts. The game is more forgiving than most other souls - you don't lose currency on death, there's no one-time consumables, and shortcuts and checkpoints feel…”
“I really really loved this game. It’s the first game I’ve beaten in a long time and for good reason - everything from the sharp combat to the art direction to soundtrack, this game is meticulous, grand, and polished.…”

“This game is just painfully boring. The weapons (except for the daggers) all share the same swing animations making the playstyle pretty much the same with all weapons. Lack of variety on the enemies. The puzzles were…”
“When I first booted up Death's Door, it felt like a giant door of difficulty was slamming shut right in my face, locking me out cold. What the heck was with that early-game wall? I’ve beaten Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and…”
“Just beat the Castle boss while playing on my Nintendo Switch and all i got to say is i know this gonna be SPECIAL. I love the Metroidvania in 3D Soul Like form factor they went with. Makes this game stand out compared…”

“Death’s Door is a fantastic blend of Bastion and The Legend of Zelda, and it pulls that combination off beautifully. It carries a dark yet oddly cute, eerie tone that just works from start to finish. The world feels melancholic but charming, and the art direction paired with its…”
— a player, Steam review · 38 hrs played“A decent top-down Metroidvania. Spent about 6 hours or so beating the game. There was post-game content, but there's one big thing that made me immediately drop the game after beating and doing the first thing: there is no map. This game likes to sprinkle obstacles in levels…”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“How did I not review Death's Door yet? I've beaten it thrice. It's an incredible game with great ambience, interesting world, and you get to play as a crow. The humor is incredibly on point, the music I keep relistening occasionally, it's just solid all around. AND you play as a…”
