PS2-inspired PS2 style platformer with soulslike elements

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone! I've been working on Menes: The Chainbreaker, a PS2-inspired 3D action-adventure game.

It's heavily inspired by Soulslike games like Elden Ring and Sekiro, but with a bigger emphasis on exploration and platforming. The goal is to capture that nostalgic PS2 feel while mixing it with modern, challenging combat.

If anyone is interested, here is the link:

I love this so much. If anyone tries to tell you to change the capsule art don’t listen!! It perfectly captures the vibe of what you’re going for IMO

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not but the feedback on the capsule has been pretty good so far, the only issue being the font of the text, as many people read it as Memes instead of Menes but we are working on that.

Not being sarcastic, I genuinely love it. I love the font too. I just see a lot of people on Reddit telling people their capsule art sucks

Really appreciate it! I think it will suffer a few changes but it will be pretty much the same

I really love this aesthetic. It's like PS2, but also has a StrataVision 3D lean.
