This is the attractive RPG of Team17 Thymesia
At the time of writing this article, Thymesia has a average grade of 70 in metacritic with 22 rated reviews (in its PC version, the one with the most reviews right now). For an independent video game from an inexperienced Taiwanese studio inspired by a formula perfected by From Software, it’s not bad at all and bodes well for some good, challenging entertainment for souls-like fans. Thymesia will come next August 18 to Xbox Series X|SPlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
