THE FUSE

I often find the way we rampantly compare video games to other games and use terms like “Souls-like” contrived, but boy, it is nearly impossible to look at The Blood of Dawnwalker and not see The Witcher. You get quests where you use your “sense” to follow glowing tracks, you open the menu and read a note to learn how to make a potion, and you even use a necromantic spell to speak to the dead. Dawnwalker isn’t shy about where it comes from—and it makes sense considering developer Rebel Wolves was founded by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz. After all, these things seldom happen by coincidence.
