DOLMEN : The New King of the Soulslike Genre

Watch more Dolmen at / oboeshoesgames
EXTREME CONTENT WARNING: The game "Metroid: Other M" is briefly mentioned in this video. Viewer discretion is advised.
DOLMEN is the single greatest game ever conceived because it lets you get the experience of killing a difficult Dark Souls boss while the only thing you have to do is back up and hold the shoot button.

[@plumdowner1941]

My favourite part of Dolmen is when John Dolmen says "It's Dolmin' time." and then Dolms all over the bad guys.

Wish i could be in the Dolmen universe, and be friends with John Dolmen so i could hear him say his great catchphrase "It's Dolmin' Time” with him, all as he catches the bad guys with his Dolmen moves. Man! I want to do the Dolmen Shotgun greeting too.. such a great Game, it's co-op and singleplayer! Dolmen is quite an innovative game, the Dolmen-like genre is surely going to be the best, all thanks to Dolmen setting the foundations for the rest of 2022 games. EDIT: I found out about this one game called "Dark Souls" which is a little bit too inspired in Dolmen.. It isnt a Dolmen-Like though, because unlike Dolmen it doesnt have weapons! Still, just a poor copy of Dolmen. They even made a blatant copy-paste of a Dolmen (Game of the Year) boss named Zallan Kheep! In Dark Souls they named it "Pontiff Sulyvahn", but it clearly rips-off the great idea Dolmen had for Zallan Kheep.. Two different color swords! Really saddens me that such a good game as Dolmen gets plagiarized, we should be thankful to the Dolmen devs for not raising any legal action against that Dark Souls game..

[@morgboat744]

it’s been a pleasure watching the Dolmen franchise grow and evolve over the years.

Dolmen was one of the games of all time One of the greatest achievement of Gaming that is in the likes of Miyazaki. Hell, even Satoru Iwata would wake up from his grave just to praise this game ever made in ages. This is the peak and pinnacle of gaming that something Bethesda or Bungie can't even made. The game that blows The Arkham Knight out of the water and reclaims the throne for the best dark souls game ever made. The game is so 100% authentic that it is so evident that there is no CGI used but instead it all of it was real. Jimmy Dolmen is a method actor that they actually made him fly and turns him into a Dolmen. The scope and commitment of this game is beyond the world that they actually intended to harm people on set so that everything is intact to the sequence. Technical wise, Dolmen is one of the game's ever made that has a cinematography, camera angle and setpiece. They even hired a VFX team to produce the exquisite effects which is something that rivals and preeminent to Halo, God of War, or Jedi Fallen Order that it is so compelling and ground breaking you won't even notice what is real and what is not. The Writing is so incredible that it will glue you to the chair while playing it and even persuade you to replay it again and again. The story is so good that it hooks you up to know more about John Dolmen' character. Markiplier was so good in portraying the antagonist of the story that he is so remarkable and is one of his roles of all time. Verdict. Dolmen is not just a game but it is a game. It breaks records in every aspects that it is the first game to sold Dolmillion tickets. Even by science Dolmen doesn't need to be at the BAFTA or Game Awards to determine its greatness since it was universally known and understood its greatness. Critics wasn't necessary to know its greatness as a game hence it is the first game to reach 200% Certified fresh Steam Meter. Dolmen continuely Sweeping dollars at the steam store and nothing is there to stop it.
