The Last Faith covers several genres while creating a truly good mix. It features the impressive but fair bosses of a Souls game, the numerous, if at times confusing, exploration possibilities of a Metroidvania, and the dark style of Bloodborne. A shallow story and a lot of backtracking in the second half should therefore only moderately deter fans of the genre. |

With The Last Faith we will find a very entertaining adventure that will make us suffer and enjoy in equal parts in a game that will be challenging but fair. The Last Faith amuses, we do not deny that, but it does not risk betting on several formulas already experienced in other games of the genre that convey a final sensation that we are playing a conglomerate of games already experienced where comparisons will be inevitable and that will make We let out on more than one occasion a “I’ve already experienced this” with a continuous déjà vu. |

The Last Faith is a grueling metroidvania, leaning into pinnacle souls-like gameplay elements that reward exploration, precision, and patience. Its combat may be simple and fun, but the challenge of mastering its traversal may be too much to handle. Its gorgeous visuals might not be distinct enough to separate itself from the pack of its predecessors, but it’s a great start for those wanting to test the waters of the souls genre. |

It’s hard to deny The Last Faith its place as a solid entry into the greater canon of metroidvanias, but its successes aren’t without any caveat. There’s no shortage of content, but that content is somewhat inconsistent in how fun it is to play through. Boss fights are addictive to learn, but leave the player wanting for more variety in their patterns. The standard metroidvania progression is fun, but the soulslike elements can feel tacked on. |

It’s safe to say that we’ve been bowled over by The Last Faith on the whole. We’ve been lost at times, pouring over the map in the hope of finding a clue as to where we should go next, but it’s rarely dampened our enthusiasm to play. And thanks to many weapons, skills and other items to discover, time spent exploring never feels wasted anyway. While this is a game that doesn’t really offer anything original or ground breaking, then, it remains engaging nonetheless. |

The Last Faith doesn’t have a hugely original setting, but it’s an atmospheric, thrilling experience throughout. |

It’s a shame it doesn’t have more personality, because under all those borrowed ideas there’s a really solid metroidvania and an engaging soulslike that fans of both genres will surely love. |

The Last Faith is not the pinnacle of 2D metroidvanias, but its collection of weapons is genuinely cool and busting the masters of its samey levels is satisfying. |

The Last Faith is a beautiful but inconsistent rehash of older, better games. |

The Last Faith fails to make waves in a market already far too saturated to make space for something that doesn’t bring innovation. Beautiful design, both in sound and scene, is let down by predictable gameplay. |

The Last Faith is the perfect marriage between Bloodborne and a typical metrodvania game. With many secrets, a good difficulty balance and many hours of gameplay, The Last Faith is another gem of this awesome 2023. |
