If you’re not going to watch the entire video, here’s the summary: Flintlock The Siege of Dawn is the perfect 7 out of 10 game to play on Xbox game pass. The story is forgettable, and exists only to lead you from one boss fight to the next. The gameplay loop is a bit of an interesting mix between melee and ranged combat which you may or may not like. Everything else about the game is really average, but since it is quite short, you might consider investing some time in this if you don’t have anything else to play at the moment. Now on to the full review.
This was originally going to be an early impressions video for Flintlock the siege of dawn, similar to videos I’ve done for The First Descendant and Zenless Zone Zero earlier this month. I only made early impressions videos for those two previous games because I wasn’t too interested to finish them. But halfway through my playthrough of Flintlock, I realised that I was actually interested to finish the game, and that’s what I did. It helped that the game is quite short, and I was able to finish it in a little over 7 hours. And these days, if I’m able to finish a game, I consider it to be at least a decent game. That’s what Flintlock is – a really decent game, which has a few moments of fun, but is wrapped in such a mediocre package that the 7 out of 10 scores that it is getting seem justified. Before we get into the details, here’s a warning that this review will include some spoilers from the game, and while I don’t show any footage from the later stages of the game, I do talk a little about the final boss, without going into too many details.
