The Bearer & The Last Flame reviews
https://duuro.net/blog/the-bearer-and-the-last-flame-review-ps5
On paper, there is a complete game here. The official description talks about five locations, side quests, weapon variety, and different enemy types. Those are fine building blocks, but the fundamentals are way too weak for any of it to matter. The combat is awful, level design is rubbish, and the performance on PS5 is abysmal.
I gave it a fair chance and pushed past the bad first impression, hoping it would settle into something better. It did not. The longer I played, the more obvious it became that this is not just rough around the edges, the core experience feels unfinished on PS5. My recommendation is straightforward, do not buy this version. It is frustrating, unstable, and not worth your time let alone your money.
