Despite its bugs and a rocky beginning, Vessels of Decay manages to engage the player in a healthy mix of dynamic combat and melancholic exploration. Even if you choose to wait for updates before buying, it's certainly worth your attention.

Vessels of Decay is a great-looking, retro-inspired game that is unfortunately more frustrating to play because it's buggy.

And yet, despite all these annoyances, you keep going. The world in Vessels of Decay simply looks fantastic. You want to see what's around the next corner. The gameplay flows quite smoothly, and you can get past the numerous bosses relatively easily. Vessels of Decay is one of those games that wins you over with one screenshot and one piece of music, but then partially disappoints you the moment you pick up the controller. The numerous bugs really hold this game back. The atmosphere is cool and the gameplay is extensive, but the world feels a bit too empty, even for a game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
