Voidwrought for Xbox Series X|S

I was tired of the same old dungeon crawlers and wanted something that felt like it had soul-something where the world itself felt alive, even if it was falling apart. Voidwrought delivered that in spades. I didn’t expect to get sucked into a hand-drawn nightmare realm full of ancient gods and crumbling ruins, but here we are. The first time I found an artifact buried under a collapsed temple and watched my character’s shrine slowly grow from a single stone to a flickering altar? That moment stuck with me.

The good stuff

The art style is insane-every frame feels like a painting you could hang on your wall. The way the light bleeds through cracked ceilings or how the camera pans just right during a boss fight? It’s not just pretty, it’s intentional. One level had me climbing up a crumbling ziggurat as the sky turned black and stars blinked out one by one. Chills. And the combat? Tight. Not flashy, but responsive. You’re not spamming attacks-you’re reading patterns, timing dodges, and using those artifacts to shift the flow. I unlocked a shard that let me rewind time for three seconds, and suddenly I was doing backflips over collapsing pillars like a damn ninja. Not a single second felt wasted.

The not-so-good

It’s not perfect. The difficulty spikes can be rough, especially early on when you’re still learning how to use your powers. There’s no tutorial per se-just “figure it out.” If you’re not into trial-and-error, this might frustrate you. Also, the story is more implied than told. You piece things together from whispers in ruins and half-remembered dreams. That’s cool for some, but if you want a clear plot, you’ll be left hanging. And yeah, it’s only on PS5 right now, so if you’re on Xbox Series X|S and hoping for a port, don’t hold your breath. But hey, maybe it’ll come later.

Bottom line

If you’re into atmospheric 2D platformers with weighty combat and a haunting sense of mystery, Voidwrought for Xbox Series X|S on Ps5 is a must-try. It’s not for everyone-especially not if you need hand-holding or linear storytelling-but if you like games that make you pause and just stare at the screen, then yes, download it. This isn’t just another indie title. It’s something special. And honestly, at 9.6/10 from just one vote? That’s probably because people who played it were too stunned to rate anything else.
