What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Hitboxes are decent, the default keyboard & controller bindings were kinda odd (though I eventually got used to them), but combat & gameplay remain smooth overall.
Overall, gloom is a good rogue-lite with souls-esque combat which executes both elements well, and manages to make them complement each other surprisingly well.
Great atmosphere, combat mechanics, difficulty curve, music, lore, and just great fun all around.
Self explanatory, the simple art style adds to the atmosphere imo but you already know what you're getting based on the store page.
While the general story for the game is interesting, I feel like Gloom could have been a lot better if the developers designed it differently, because it has quite a lot of flaws.
The areas are generally interesting, with an excellently solemn atmosphere (helped by the soundtrack) but also get a bit samey after a while.
