    Dolmen has wonderful visuals, interesting concepts, and a soundtrack that goes great with the feeling of the story. A sticking point could be the difficulty of the enemies and the issues with struggling to progress, which might make it hard for the players to stay engaged at times. That said, if you are looking forward to a challenge with tougher enemies than usual, alongside futuristic yet apocalyptic graphics, this is the game for you!

    Despite its sci-fi setting, Dolmen is less a Soulslike than a Dark Souls clone, with very few original ideas. The biggest issue, beyond the overall familiarity of just about everything, is that it brings back annoying mechanics that games like Elden Ring have evolved away from. While there is some fun to be had in Dolmen’s weapons and combat, at some point you’ll just wish you were playing a FromSoft game instead.

    While Dolmen offers fun, challenging, and rewarding gameplay and a rich crafting system, its other features are a bit of a hit-and-miss.

    It’s just disappointing that a lack of polish and modern sensibilities hinder the product at all turns, leaving what could have been a chunky and ambitious slice of indie action horror down a path forgotten and overshadowed.

    Although it might look like a Dead Space’s relative, Dolmen is more of a low-budget mix of Returnal and The Surge. Everything it does decently, it borrowed from other games with very little original input. Dolmen is simply late to the party and with competition so strong and numerous, seems unnecessary. I can recommend it only to the most famished soulslike fans if they can get it at a significantly reduced price.

    Dolmen, in its current state, is a game that seldomly works. Not very consistent and with poorly conceived mechanics. Frankly, what was published looks more like an early build that still needs months of optimization and polish.

    Dolmen is an ambitious game that misunderstands why Soulslike games are so enticing. Dolmen‘s difficulty is artificially inflated by obnoxious health pools and enemies that suddenly appear from nowhere, bosses are difficult mostly due to bugs or cheap one-hit kills, and the weightless combat is deeply dissatisfying. Avoid.

For me, this is not the complexity of the enemies or the mystery of the plot. For me, the main thing is the spirit of adventure and exploration of unknown terrain. This game has it all. The game reminded Hellpoint, but a little worse. Still, I enjoyed the game. The design of some levels is ambiguous. But + 1 point, because The game is budget and some nuances can be forgiven.… Expand
