Enotria: The Last Song is a 2024 action RPG developed and published by Jyamma Games, a Milan studio, released September 19, 2024 for PC and PlayStation 5 — exactly one year after Lies of P — with an Xbox version following later. It holds Metacritic scores in the low-to-mid 70s, and a distinct identity in a grimdark genre: the self-styled “summer Soulslike,” trading cursed castles for sun-drenched Mediterranean coasts, olive groves, and towns drawn from Italian folklore.
Its launch-to-now arc matters as much as its premise: a technically rough, content-thin release drew an “unfinished” reputation the studio spent the following year patching away — and the long-tail critical verdict has shifted to a genuine, qualified recommendation.

The Canovaccio and the Mask of Change
Enotria is a land frozen inside the Canovaccio — an eternal play whose inhabitants are locked into their roles, commedia dell’arte made literal. The player is the Mask of Change, the one actor able to rewrite the script, harvesting masks from fallen foes to adopt their aspects. Masks anchor the build system: three full loadouts — weapons, mask, and Path alignments — swappable mid-combat, closer to a class-switching action game than a single-build Souls run, layered over a parry system and reality-altering environmental powers.
Reception
Launch reviews credited the gorgeous, genuinely novel setting and the ambition of the mask economy while cataloguing jank: input feel, enemy tracking, balance spikes, and missing polish that community threads bluntly called unfinished. The patched game reads differently — GameCritics’ updated verdict placed it mid-pack among Soulslikes, above Mortal Shell and Thymesia though below Lies of P, and “solid at a discount” is now the standing consensus in the exact “what do you think of Enotria?” threads that rank for the game.
Where to Play It Today
Enotria: The Last Song is on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox, discounting frequently and deeply. The honest pitch: the genre’s only Mediterranean vacation, best taken post-patches and on sale.
