Rob reviews Thymesia on Xbox Series X... As a Soulsborne fan, the genre is becoming a little too saturated. While big hitters such as Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls remain the heads of the hard-core table, there's always one waiting in the shadows.  OverBoarder Studios' third-person action RPG, Thymesia is a great example of this. Its flashy, fast-paced combat, mixed with the need for patience and confidence has all the hallmarks to be something great. Yet it's all a bit forgettable.  Thymesia 's story follows a menacing-looking chap called Corvus, a pretty plain protagonist who's also lost his memory. Not only this, but a plague is sweeping across the lands. A plague that either kills its victims outright or mutates them into a foul creature. Corvus, along with his childlike ally, then has to (for reasons) battle the plague monsters whilst regaining his lost memories.  Much like other Soulsborne titles, Thymesia is pretty short on its narrative ...
