This is a bummer for the obvious reasons Ashen just isn’t as fun to play without random wanderers appearing to run around in circles to say “hello.” The A.I. Whatever the situation, it doesn’t help me.

Beating the boss of Lathyrus popped an achievement - plus a note that only 3.05 percent of Ashen players on Xbox have gotten that far. Perhaps all kinds of people are playing, actually, but just haven’t reached the end of the game. That’s because, at least on Xbox One, nobody is really playing Ashen right now… Or those that are are playing with their friends. Nor did it instill that same sense of camaraderie I felt many times before. Well, I finally did get back to Ashen and its Palace of Lathyrus. I said I would get back to it “before the end of the year.” Before the end of the year became “over the summer.” Over the summer turned into “before the end of next year.” Sadly, goodwill didn’t get me all the way through, and I stepped away from the game “for a little bit.” You know what I mean. That’s the kind of spirit Ashen engenders!Īnd I did get that feeling - about a year ago. That way when you do get to the end there’s a sense of relief and satisfaction to reward all your hard work. It’s the sort of stretch you and a buddy should work through, tirelessly, to reach a common goal. The palace feels designed to be a gauntlet. I don’t think it’s entirely the game’s fault. Although I probably spent at least a fourth of that time in goddamn Lathyrus. The whole thing is only 15-20 hours long, too. Bosses are somewhat easy and having a human or A.I.
The game is fairly relaxed for its sub-genre. It’s also somewhat at odds with the rest of Ashen.

It’s a twisting, dimly lit labyrinth with infinitely respawning enemies. The last real dungeon is an incredible slog. Anyone who’s played the game can probably guess where: the Palace of Lathyrus. Before that, I reluctantly bounced off Ashen very near its end. I learned that when I beat the game recently, nearly a year after its initial launch. For the time being, however, Ashen is not at its best. At its best, that means human players join your game to help you out of tremendously tough spots - or ping secret areas, or just explore.
Or strangers! Companions organically appear in your world at random. That is to say, while combat is risky and requires managing a stamina gauge, you can get a little bit of help from your friends. It’s a bite-sized, surprisingly soothing Souls-like with shades of Journey. I said as much about a year ago, when the game first came out.
