Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Tides of Annihilation, drawing inspiration from Arthurian legend, casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman battling alongside spectral knights to rescue her family and mend a fractured world.

The game unfolds in a ravaged, modern-day London, overrun by a mysterious otherworldly force. Gwendolyn and her team confront relentless enemy hordes in the streets. Massive, roaming knights form the game's primary antagonists, requiring players to scale and engage in intense combat atop these colossal foes.

While visually impressive, Tides of Annihilation suffers from a lack of originality in its narrative. Recent soulslike games have successfully adapted lesser-known stories, such as "Journey to the West" and the reimagining of Pinocchio in Lies of P. However, the King Arthur narrative feels overused and familiar. This lack of a unique selling point, unfortunately, overshadows the game's visual appeal.
