The First Berserker: Khazan - Play Station 5

Great game! Love the Art style. It is a bit difficult, but there is a difficulty adjustment in the settings. Good story.

The First Berserker: Khazan is hands down one of the best Soulslike experiences I’ve had on the PS5. The combat is tight and brutal in all the right ways, with bosses that genuinely push you to adapt and improve. The world is dark, gritty, and beautifully crafted, with an atmosphere that sucks you in and never lets go.

Great game, with good difficulty.

The First Berserker is a beautiful souls-like action rpg with a Nioh like mission structure, in which you will pick the area to teleport to and complete the mission or side mission, and loot drops. Khazan will have access to 3 weapon types each with their own stat bonuses and skill trees which, while they play pretty different from each other, means if you want an rpg of endless "builds" First Berserker is light in that department. This games emphasis on the 3 weapon types however makes the combat an absolute blast as you weave all your upgraded attack actions and skills into this dance of perfect blocks and perfect dodges. The First Berserker has been the first souls-like since Lies of P, also a recommend, that made me love the genre all over again. If you want a solid souls-like with plenty of challenge this game is all that and then some.

GREAT GAME!!! If you love the souls genre such as Dark Souls 1/2/3, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, Nioh1/2, and so forth.... then you will absolutely love this game! The difficulty for the bosses is tough. Getting to the bosses can be a challenge, but the bosses are on another level. This games bosses are tougher than E.R., Dark souls 1/2/3, etc. The bosses are tougher than most other games bosses. But they are not impossible to beat. You just have to learn their patterns and moveset. Best game to come out since Elden Rings dlc expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. Once again, if you are like me and love the souls genre then do yourself a huge favor and BUT THIS GAME! If and when you buy it, if you get stuck on a boss, DO NOT GIVE UP!

Took awhile to get used to the animation delay in all actions (guarding/parrying & attacking) as this made the game harder & exhausting than it already is. Probably the hardest souls-like i’ve played, yes even harder than all the actual FromSoft souls titles. The level designs weren’t that intriguing besides the end-game areas. Only started to like the game about 3/4th into my first playthrough.Overall, good play with decent combat & story. Great character (anime style), enemy/boss visualization & design. I like the gearing & crafting system with the different passive armor/weapon sets.Would i recommend this game? probably not… unless you are up for the brutal challenge.

Great game, I only brought it after they enabled the difficulty options and I’m playing on normal! All souls-like games should have this option for people who have a life and want to enjoy the goodness of the game

The game is beautiful. It is also very hard, so you get a feeling of accomplishment when you get further in the game.
