“It hasn’t reached the cult status that Hades did last year, but Death’s Door was undeniably the best indie game I played this year. It’ll draw comparisons to Zelda because of its combat and Souls games because of its difficulty (though this is nowhere near as hard), but this combination along with its storytelling and mysteries just by taking a closer look at things really make this game memorable.” – Danreb Victorio, Executive Editor
