Releasing later this week on 29th August across multiple platforms, on the face of it, Decay of Logos draws plenty of parallels with something like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. According to Amplify Creations, though, you'll discover a focus on narrative and a darkness that you might not be expecting.
That's not to say it's simply channelling Dark Souls, either. The game puts you in the shoes of a protagonist with vengeance on the mind following a particularly bleak introduction, but the development team seems keen to clarify that Decay of Logos offers a very different kind of experience despite the superficial similarities.
In this exclusive 'Making Of' video from the development studio, we discover more about the character of Ada, get a behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of the game and its three-and-a-half year journey to consoles. We also see how Amplify has sought to avoid 'hand-holding' and gives players the opportunity to discover the world's mysteries for themselves.
You may be waiting for our review of the game, but due to circumstances involving out-of-date review builds, it'll be a little while longer before that's ready. In the meantime enjoy the video above and keep an eye out for our verdict soon.

I'll have to take a look at this, the fact that you ride a Elk thing has me intrigued.
Well that and open world games are fun when done right.
The team that made the game seems really nice so I'm wishing them the best. I do wonder if the game runs at 60 fps.
'We strive to be unique' strive harder.
I read something about this game being “We Happy Few” levels of buggy, maybe worse. Hopefully they can sort some of those issues out.
@NotTelevision The review copy they sent to IGN was like 2 months old and full of old code and bugs.
Decay of logos? I'm pretty sure the CLG community calls that "generational loss"
Looks interesting...I'm kinda drowning in games right now though. Will swing back latter after reviews/release.
A youtuber I follow posted a video of this game.
Lol its one big glitchfest its horibble lol.
Meh...Zzzzzzzzz
I'm a musician and story writer myself, I always create from the heart and mind, but influences are impossible not to be heard or seen in your own content. Sometimes I even write a song or such that will be similar to something else or even a more famous artist releases a song that may sound like mine. We humans are always bouncing off of each other and the connected subconscious.
30 aug release date but where is all the gameplay?
The art direction of this game is beautiful, but if the code stays pretty buggy, then there’s no way I’ll play it.
Just keep at it. Hope they achieve their goal. Looks cool.
I watched someone stream the Switch version of this and it looked bad. The game even froze on them at one point.
When you ride the elk, it has a "stress" meter that fills up very quickly and the elk throws you off when it's full.
The making of decay. Sounds ominous. But looks beautiful!
Are you guys doing a review of this?
As long as you don't have weapons degradation I'm down for it.
How has I not just of this up until now? Weird.
At any rate, there art style actually reminds me of the Fable games for Xbox 360. And ironically because of that, there's a sense of silliness to the look of this in my head. I'm sure I'd get over it once I played it, but that's what comes to mind.
Mentioning Zelda and Dark Souls makes it more likely to be compared to them.
As Portuguese I feel proud for these guys.
Am I allowed to post this?

It looks really, really cool but it seems buggy.
@Mr_Muscle Worth noting that the copy IGN got was over 2 months old so it was out of date.
Wow...I just watched a review of this game. It’s awful. Terrible. Not worth it for free. So freaking sad, I was hoping it would be fun. It’s a buggy, poorly made game and that’s being nice.
@Jayofmaya "We humans are always bouncing off of each other and the connected subconscious." This my dears, all the time.
I remain excited for this one, as the Reddit AMA that Amplify did last week was very promising. The comparisons are attractive too, though Dark Souls comparisons (and a Git Gud sticker in this video) do make me nervous about gatekeepy punishing difficulty that lacks the carefully honed fairness of that in/famous franchise. The clips all look great, so I'm eagerly awaiting early reviews.
@Kalmaro I recall it being reported that - at least on Switch - it runs at 30fps. Which, given that BotW and Dark Souls both run at that framerate, feels reasonable. (and I say this as a guy who prefers 60, don't get me wrong)
@singingbrakeman Alright, just curious. The video didn't do the game any favors.
Never even heard of this until this weekend but from the video @Mr_Muscle put up wow that is one glitchy fool
