Valor Mortis review: "First-person Souslike parrying feels clutch, but I need more for this to truly stand out"
Valor Mortis is a functional Soulslike with a first-person perspective and parry-focused combat, but it struggles to stand out in a crowded genre. While it features some charming writing and a fresh parkour element, its gameplay ideas have been done better elsewhere, and scripted parkour sequences are frustratingly bad. Technical issues like crashes and framerate drops were also present at launch.
