On Steam, you can currently secure a Soulslike for half price. You should take advantage of this offer, especially if you have already finished Shadow of the Erdtree.
Which game is this about? Thymesia is a Soulslike action role-playing game developed by OverBorder Studio and published by Team17. The game was released in August 2022 and has since received 85% very positive reviews on Steam.
In Thymesia, you take on the role of “Corvus”, a plague doctor who has lost his memories and is now trying to regain them. In search of these, you explore medieval castles and villages, which, however, have been invaded by a mysterious disease.
The streets you traverse are almost deserted. You will only encounter those afflicted by the disease, and they will want to eliminate you. Initially, you should encounter more humanoid enemies here, but over time, especially the bosses become grotesque creatures.
Especially fans of the Soulslike genre should take a look at Thymesia. You can expect a fantasy setting with a dark atmosphere reminiscent of the Dark Souls series, along with an aggressive combat style similar to Bloodborne. The abilities and weapon selection, however, should remind you more of Sekiro.
Why should you secure this offer? Currently, you can get Thymesia for 50% off on Steam. This means that instead of the full price, you only pay 12.49 €. However, the offer is valid only until June 27, 2024. So if you are looking for a new Soulslike or something for after the Elden Ring DLC, you shouldn’t miss out on this offer.
Players advise against buying Thymesia at full price
A look at the reviews (via Steam) also shows that you should ideally secure Thymesia on sale. While many players praise the role-playing game, the atmosphere, and the lore, they recommend buying the game on sale.
One user summarizes his positive opinion, praising especially the setting, the satisfying combat system, and the interesting “wound mechanic”. However, one criticism from many players is the playtime, which many find too short. In some reviews, there is also the question about a sequel.
Especially because of the playtime of about 20-25 hours, many players recommend not buying Thymesia at full price.
