The combat in this upcoming day one Xbox Game Pass release is amazing — but I've still got some questions

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Enki.

Weaving between monstrous foes, I land a heavy hit with my blade, cutting down one opponent. I follow up to hit the second, but it teleports out of the way, my weapon slicing the air. Jumping up the cliff where the creature has just reappeared, I don't have time to close the distance, but I shoot it the blunderbuss in my off-hand, staggering the screeching monster before a quick slash puts it down for good. 

That's the moment-to-moment excitement I had with Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, which is being developed by A44 Games and published by Kepler Interactive. First announced back in 2022, I recently had the chance to go hands-on with Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn following a new trailer and release date announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024.
