I got to try out the Stalvaggar Knight character and somehow got the killing blow on the second boss (my front liner definitely felt the support so thanks to all on Table 1!). If you have an interest in Soulsborne games, or just like a grimdark setting, Doomspiral is one to keep an eye on!

1st honourable mention to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The story of composer Lorien Testard and how he became involved in this game is wonderful and 150+ tracks for the game all consistent with the 2/3
