The attention of Bloodless to details is surprising, not only aesthetically, but also in terms of story, map design and level design. Unfortunately the gaming part shows its side a bit. Both sometimes due to the imprecision in the commands, and in certain combinations of enemies that become unfair towards the player. Net of all this, the feeling of pleasure in deflecting a blow or overcoming a boss fight is truly enormous and repays the efforts made. Thanks also to a well-measured and never frustrating use of checkpoints. The story is not trivial and the player must pay attention and observe carefully if he wants to discover the secrets scattered throughout the game and complete the secondary quests. The characters are well characterized and interesting, the dialogues are good and the artistic direction makes the game a nice look.

Hell Clock is certainly a valid product, made with care and respect. Hell Clock combines the roguelite element linked to level up, the purchase of skills with the drop. In addition, the game also adds a countdown timer which, once exhausted, will end the game. The dopamine and satisfaction in improving the character is palpable run after run. The feeling of progress is good and worthy of a high-level Diablo-like. There aren’t actually many builds to “break” the game and an experienced player discovers them quite early. Anyway studying the synergies between relics and abilities is fascinating and encourages you to invest time and resources. Despite the adrenaline and fun, Hell Clock carries with it some of the chronic flaws of Diablo-like dungeon crawlers. The developers intelligently stemmed some of these with the idea of the timer and quick drop management. This makes the run streamlined and tactical, not leading the player to a frustrating loop looking for the right drop. Furthermore, mention should be made of some technical difficulties in levels that are too “full” of opponents and numbers. So if you’re looking for a fast-paced, adrenaline-filled, satisfying game and can put up with some technical issues, Hell Clock is a great game to try.

Mark of the Deep is an action game with a lot of potential that sometimes gets lost in its own mechanics. It is certainly a good game, challenging even if sometimes unbalanced towards an artificial difficulty. Some design choices will certainly make those who don’t like trial and error turn up their noses. The mechanics, however simple and intuitive, struggle to entertain until the end, but the sense of discovery and satisfaction in overcoming a challenge is good. A game with many positive points and some negative ones, such as the choice of map, which do not allow it to reach the rating I would like to give it. However Mark of the Deep can captivate with its minimal but functional aesthetic and sometimes rough but satisfying gameplay.
