Tim and Joel look at the delightful Unto the End, an
action-adventure game made by the small team at 2 Ton Studios. It
is a masterclass in minimalist game design - art, sound, narrative
and gameplay mechanics.
We give particular attention to the combat mechanics - which are
some of the best we've encountered in any game - scrappy and
tactical, consistently challenging. We look at why the challenges
here are so much more compelling to us than the popular Dark Souls
series - which has been much lauded for its combat mechanics.
Games mentioned:
- Unto the End
- Dark Souls
- Sekiro
- Chivalry 2
- Assassin’s Creed
- Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order
- Lonely Mountains: Downhill
- Nidhogg
