The Blood of Dawnwalker officially launches today and it will be coming out to strong praise from critics. The game is launching to a wave of high review scores, as early players point out its strong story, unique structure and combat.
Across OpenCritic, The Blood of Dawnwalker currently holds an 85 average critic rating, while on Metacritic it sits at 83 overall, based on around 60 published reviews. Early impressions point toward a strong, story‑driven RPG with a distinctive tone and plenty of ambition.
Critics have praised the game’s world‑building, characters and blend of horror‑tinged fantasy. IGN awarded the game a 9/10, calling it “an impressive, bloody cocktail of interesting ideas and well‑written characters”. PC Gamer scored it 83/100, describing it as a “resolutely miserable horror RPG” with strong concepts, even if not all of them fully land. Eurogamer gave it 4/5, highlighting its bold ideas and noting that the team’s CD Projekt Red heritage is clear throughout.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a unique RPG in that you aren’t supposed to experience everything in a single playthrough. Your character is on the clock, with a set amount of in‑game time to complete quests and save your family. Ignoring the main quest for too long, or choosing to spend too much time on side content, can lead to a painful ending, so players have to balance their time carefully in a way that few other RPGs demand.
KitGuru Says: The Blood of Dawnwalker is off to a strong start, with solid reviews across the board. Are you planning on picking this game up this week?
