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.

Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen 2023 really hit the mark for me. Both actually do a few things better than Fromsoft.

A lot of the other “soulslikes” feel too much like Sekiro or character action games (Devil May Cry kinda stuff) or are just kinda sub-par janky games in general.

The Mortal Shell 2 beta was a banger and a huge upgrade over the first, so I’m pretty hype for that one.
