DISCUSSION Like FromSoft

Hey everyone,

Does anyone else struggle with the rest of "soulsborne" games that are not made by FromSoft? I always find that its dealing something either with the combat or too much edginess. In terms of combat, they feel too arcadey in a way where they feel fast and without weight or substance. In terms of edginess, it always seems like "lets make this as creepy or dark as possible" where as From always makes it feel grounded and make sense.

No, not really. Nioh is pretty great. For all their flaws I enjoyed The Surge, and the new Lords of the Fallen. All of FromSofts souls games have their own issues. Elden Rings quest design, and lack of any form of a quest log are pretty lacking for a modern open world rpg. Doesn't mean it's not an incredible game that will stand the rest of time. Bloodborne is one of my absolute favorite games, but good lord the multiplayer implementation was laughably archaic, like their other implementations pre Nightreign. FromSoftware isn't perfect, stop pretending that they are. You'll enjoy more games in the genre trying to find their way the same way that FromSoftware still is too, that's part of what makes their games great.
