Driven Out

Driven Out on Xbox One presents an interesting swordplay fighting system within an open 2D adventure design. While it deserves some credit for producing a variety of locations and enemy types, the core character and combat system remains basic and unchanged throughout the adventure. It is an extremely difficult game which overtly handicaps the player to the point where the challenge is often overcome with tired trial and error rather than gameplay skill. Even for gamers looking for a challenge, Driven Out just doesn’t provide a satisfying experience.
