3.5Bleak Faith: Forsaken starts out incredibly strong with its visuals and architecture. It is unable to back up this initial promise with engaging combat, or game design.

Critic reviews
- Gaming Trend6.0Bleak Faith: Forsaken takes place in a beautiful science fantasy world that is begging to be explored. However, the constant bugs and frame rate drops make exploring this beautiful world on the PlayStation 5 a chore. If Bleak Faith: Forsaken receives more polish it could be one hell of a souls-like.
- TheXboxHub8.0Did you need another Souls game in your life? Well maybe not, but there is something about Bleak Faith: Forsaken that will ensure you will want to keep playing. Yes, it feels like it treads very familiar ground in terms of combat, progression and sheer death. But there is something about this world that will demand your attention and game time. If you’re looking for more Souls in your life then you can’t go wrong with Bleak Faith: Forsaken.
- Gaming Bolt6.0It's worth playing for fans of the genre, and it hints at the developers having a lot more talent than this game ultimately lets on. However, Bleak Faith: Forsaken does have a lot of caveats for it to be universally recommended to everyone.
- Multiplayer.it6.5Bleak Faith: Forsaken non è un soulslike qualsiasi: è un soulsike con un suo carisma, che ai cultori del genere potrà piacere o non piacere, perché non nasconde le sue concessioni ai nuovi arrivati. Gli obiettivi sono diversi: favorire una maggiore accessibilità ai meno esperti; rendere l'esperienza meno frustrante; incentivare da subito la sperimentazione e la scoperta del proprio stile di gioco. In sé si tratta di una produzione discreta, ma non memorabile, soprattutto perché corredata da alcune sbavature di tipo tecnico e grafico (su console abbiamo notato diverse compenetrazioni, ma in generale il prodotto sembra pensato più per la scorsa generazione di console che per la nuova, in tutto). Merita una possibilità per l'ambientazione particolare e per la gestione nei combattimenti contro boss specifici, e ovviamente perché - al netto dei suoi limiti - resta comunque un'esperienza divertente, oltre che meno frustrante di quanto ci aspettassimo.
- GameSpew7.0Bleak Faith: Forsaken invites players to a world where sci-fi meets fantasy, and while it's not the best soulslike available, its mix of rewarding exploration and solid combat makes it well worth checking out.
