Soul Chained
Surviving the opening two hours is the real dungeon crawl, where only 43 percent of 58 reviewers manage to enjoy themselves before the rhythm finally clicks. Past that initial hurdle, the game secures a solid 70 percent positive rating across 132 total reviews as players dive deeper into the cooperative campaign.
What it's about: Bound by the Soul Chain, fight through purgatory as chained rival warlords using chain magic, teamwork, and terrible decision-making. Trip enemies, accidentally drag your partner to their death, and survive brutal bosses armed with suspicious amounts of jiggle physics.
