Title Analysis: The First Berserker – Khazan

The initial version of “The First Berserker” by Khazan has received positive reviews so far; on Metacritic it scores 80, and the PC version boosts that to 83. However, the game isn’t officially out yet, but Nexon is following a common industry practice by offering early access for extra payment. This means the official release date was March 24, with the full release coming this Thursday, March 27. Despite not having a complete launch, the challenging “soulslike” game has been attracting quite a bit of attention.

Currently when this text was written, the game boasted approximately 1,500 reviews on its Steam store page, earning a ‘Very Positive’ rating with an impressive 94% of user reviews suggesting the game. The top review commended the game for its incorporation of an easy mode, a feature that has sparked many discussions within the soulslike community. On the other hand, some are appreciating the game’s challenging nature. Moreover, the game’s performance has garnered praise as well, which is particularly welcome given the somewhat disorganized PC versions of games like Monster Hunter Worlds in recent times.

Despite some unfavorable feedback, it’s worth noting that one gamer complained about a lack of diversity in weapons and enemies, stating, “Are you seeking different weapon options or adversaries? I suggest looking elsewhere. After 5 hours, it’s the same four enemies, the bosses… essentially larger versions of those enemies.” This player has since put in an additional 10 hours, so there’s a chance their view might alter over time. The creators of this game have been addressing negative reviews and even providing tech support for players experiencing performance issues.
