In a new Reddit post, user unknown5493 applauded The First Berserker: Khazan, calling it one of the best Soulslike titles on the market and dubbing it even better than both Nioh 2 and Lies of P. However, the player expressed frustration at the game's lack of a dedicated pause button, as Khazan is a single-player title with no online features. Many players agreed, with Xbox and PlayStation users explaining that they return to their system's dashboards as a workaround for the issue. The player also mentioned The First Berserker: Khazan's build number appearing constantly in the bottom left corner, something that has been called out by many others following the title's release in late March. Some fans are concerned that the numbers will be permanently burned into OLED displays, and others find them distracting during the game's tougher battles.

Microsoft recently added The First Berserker: Khazan to the Xbox Cloud Gaming library, giving those who purchased the title on Xbox the ability to enjoy it on PC and other supported devices. The developers of the title also recently warned of a major bug impacting players using pre-order armor sets, with a fix currently in the works. It's unclear when the next patch for the game will be released.

2025 promises to be a banner year for Soulslikes, with Elden Ring Nightreign and Lies of P: Overture scheduled to be released this summer. Additionally, Soulframe and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, two new IPs, are poised to compete with more familiar titles, with early showings of both impressing longtime fans of the genre.
