Death’s Door

Critics Consensus (Play It)

Death’s Door is a must-play isometric Metroidvania that pairs intense combat with a compelling world begging to be explored.

Game Info

Reaping souls of the dead and punching a clock might get monotonous but it’s honest work for a Crow. The job gets lively when your assigned soul is stolen and you must track down a desperate thief to a realm untouched by death – where creatures grow far past their expiry and overflow with greed and power.

Tight, challenging combat and a gorgeous world to explore makes the morbid act of reaping souls a delight in Death’s Door.

Buy it. Play it. Enjoy it. It’s as simple as the game feels, even if it challenges you more than you’d ever think it would. The more I’ve played it, the more I see every one of it’s accomplishments, with fantastic gameplay and a great choice of art style and soundtrack jewels in its crown. Death’s Door does nearly everything right for what it is, and even the shortcomings of the narrative is barely a blemish on a spectacular résumé.
