  7.0

  Voidwrought has solid gameplay mechanics and combat feels satisfying. However, the items and collectibles are overused and it is not made clear what objects actually do, and how they will affect gameplay. It generally has the protagonist adventuring alone, but when he does meet an NPC, the dialogue is so abstract that you my as well need a translation guide just for this game. To add to this, there are odd difficulty spikes and no light RPG system with which to grind your character to level up. The game’s solid art and gameplay mean that there is a good game here. Its just hidden under a whole, ecosystem of abstract, broken dialogue and over-the-top lore.

  Εν κατακλείδι, το Voidwrought καταλήγει ως ένα τυπικό metroidvania, που έστω είναι σε θέση να δημιουργήσει μία ευχάριστη αίσθηση εξερεύνησης (έως ότου βέβαια βρεθούμε σε σύγχυση για το επόμενο objective). Δύσκολα όμως να βγάλει κανείς από το μυαλό του πως δεν παίζει κάτι περισσότερο από έναν μιμητή του Hollow Knight, που παραμένει σε όλους τους τομείς κάτω από τη βαριά σκιά του.

  Voidwrought is a simple but fun Metroidvania with rich and amazing lore. Even though the game lacks a certain thread of story to follow and becomes unbalanced halfway through the game, its magical soundtracks and strangely beautiful art style are effective enough to give it a try.

  9.0

  Voidwrought’s strongest traits are its exploration, game design and combat, all of which I feel are the true archetypes of metroidvanias. When all three are executed so well, you have something like Voidwrought—a fun and challenging tableau full of exploration. Bravo!

  7.0

  Voidwrought is a dark, atmospheric metroidvania that excels in audio design and exploration. While its gameplay doesn’t break new ground, it offers an accessible experience for newcomers, blending fast-paced combat with intriguing lore and light base-building mechanics.

  8.0

  Voidwrought è un metroidvania competente, in cui certo, non tutte le idee sono originalissime, ma questo non rende meno piacevole esplorare gli anfratti del suo mondo occasionalmente un po’ troppo criptico o meno riuscita la colonna sonora. Nel complesso, dunque, un gioco di cui vale assolutamente la pena tenere conto se siete appassionati del genere (o se avete bisogno di qualcosa che plachi l’attesa per Silksong).
