Flintlock: Dawn Siege: Release and Development
Flintlock: Originally released in March 2022 with a cinematic teaser, The Siege of Dawn set players ablaze with excitement to enter this Steampunk RPG. Developer A44 Games, however, gave delivering the "absolute best experience" top priority, thus the release was delayed. At last, the title opened on July 18, 2023 as a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. Flintlock has received good reviews, with a Metacritical score of 70 and an Xbox Series X score of 76, thus this delay seems to have paid off.
Flintlock: Dawn's Siege: Features and gameplay

Among Nor's weapons are axes, the titular flintlock gun, and magical powers bestowed upon her ally, the Fox God, Enki. Augmented by magic, this mix of melee fighting and ranged attacks creates varied and dynamic gameplay.
Flintlock: Dawn's Siege: World and Conflict
Flintlock, although labeled as a "Soulslite," is less punishing than classic FromSoftware releases. Still, it borrows key combat techniques from those legendary games, including dodging and parying as absolutely essential. The game stands out for its own graphic style. Flintlock boasts a vivid and colorful world full of complex history rather than the austere settings sometimes found in Souls games. This vivid look accentuates the fast-paced and interesting fighting, so creating a very different Soulslike experience.
Beyond the fundamental mechanics, the game boasts a reputation system. Rather than gathering souls, conquering foes earns Nor reputation, which marks her development and strength.
