Mortal Shell 2 review - falls short of Elden Ring's greatness
Mortal Shell 2 attempts to emulate Elden Ring's open-world success but falls short in navigation, though its combat and shell system offer a thrilling Soulslike experience. The game features interconnected areas, a dark-fantasy setting, and a unique shell mechanic where players embody fallen individuals, each with distinct backstories and skills. While the boss fights are challenging and enjoyable, and the combat offers flexibility, the open world can feel hollow and frustrating to explore, leading the reviewer to prefer Elden Ring.
