Morbid: The Lords of Ire

Morbid is another souls-like from a small developer that makes me excited for the future.   This had "good" everything; decent environments, decent combat, decent bosses, decent move set for mobs.  It all centers around a few areas each of which has both a main boss and some sort of ancillary "hunt" as well.

As a proof of concept it's great, fund these guys and lets have them make a game.   As a game/story, it was a bit of the same "get the [artfully named creature] in the [location]" with no purpose beyond that.  The additional hunt was given by an odd professor guy looking to fill out his bestiary compendium and looks like a Nickelodeon cartoon caricature of a hunter.

None of the bosses were too problematic, they are somewhat limited on moves in comparison to Elden Ring, so easy to learn.  Balance was good though, I did end a couple of the fights with clutch hits and intense focus.

There was a tribute to reddit face in one of the boss rooms with a bit of a slapstick intro creating a mutant.  😁
