The First Berserker: Khazan isn’t even out yet, but the new Soulslike RPG already has over 1,300 94% positive reviews on Steam from early buyers

The First Berserker: Khazan has done pretty well when it comes to reviews; the game currently sits at 80 on Metacritic, with the PC version bumping that score up to an 83. It isn’t technically out yet, but Nexon’s new release is following the annoying industry trend of “pay more to play it early,” which made the actual release date March 24 (the full release arrives this Thursday, March 27). However, despite not having a full release, the hardcore soulslike game is proving pretty popular.

At the time of writing, the game has just under 1,500 reviews on its Steam store pag, nabbing a ‘Very Positive’ rating with 94% of the game’s user reviews recommending the game. The top review gave specific praise to the game’s inclusion of an easy mode, something that has been much debated in the soulslike community. Conversely, others are praising the difficulty of the game. The game’s performance has been praised too, which, after recent PC versions like Monster Hunter Wilds being a bit of a mess, is refreshing to see.
