The First Berserker: Khazan gets some good marks from the press

The First Berserker: Khazan is already available in early access before its official release on March 27, and the press got their hands on it too. Initial feedback has been good so far.

On OpenCritic, the current average is 80%, with 37 reviews. On Metacritic, the score is 80% on PS5 (21 reviews), 83% on PC (19 reviews) and 79% on Xbox Series X (8 reviews).

Those who have played it praise the game's lots of content, successful art direction, demanding yet balanced combat system and overall good pace of progression.

As for shortcomings, the technical aspect is a little uneven, the weapons are not very varied and the structure remains fairly classic.
