Each is exquisite, especially Eredrim’s which is particularly grand. And then there are the suits of armour, unique to each of the game’s four shells that you can inhabit. Textures have been improved, making each and every environment you battle through more detailed and lifelike than ever. Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition simply looks stunning. In fact, thanks to the numerous improvements made in this enhanced edition, they’re easier to look past then ever.įor a start, there are the visuals.
But none of these issues break the experience. Its labyrinthine hub is still perhaps too easy to get lost in, its combat is still mechanically a step below the likes of Dark Souls, and enemy placement can feel a bit forced at times.
Cue many attempts to beat its pesky boss after arduously making my way past its enemy hordes. When I last played it, I went there first and got stuck. If you head to the Crypt of the Martyr’s, one of the game’s three temples that you need to conquer to complete it, for example, you’ll find that you can now leave it if you decide it’s perhaps a little too challenging for you. There’s been no sweeping changes to the gameplay or content, but little tweaks here and there since the game’s original launch means playing it now is a little more enjoyable. The core of Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition remains the same.

You see, one of the enhancements that has really made a difference is haptic feedback, something that Xbox Series X/S players will miss out on. Or more specifically, playing the PS5 version of Mortal Shell. Revisiting the world of Mortal Shell via this new enhanced edition has been a mostly pleasurable experience. With a bit of polish since launch thanks to numerous patches, enhanced visuals and 60fps, maybe my opinion of it would change.Īnd I’m glad to report that it has.
When I heard that it was getting enhanced for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, however, I was keen to give it another go. I loved its dark fantasy world, but various issues meant I failed to really get invested in it. When I first played Mortal Shell for review last year on Xbox One, it left me a little bit cold. I’m glad that Mortal Shell has been enhanced for next-gen consoles.
