“You are supposed to die a lot. This is not a bug.” It’s rare that an amusing bit of flavor text tossed out by a developer can carry so much weight. We’re in an exciting time for games to provide a level of true difficulty. Games like Dark Souls have revitalized the kind of challenges that games like the early Ninja Gaiden series presented, where precision is essential and death is more teacher than punishment.
Acid Nerve’s Titan Souls is the latest in the roster of games designed to punish players, but its approach to this particular controller-crushing brand of hard mode gaming wears a few more hats than its predecessors. Elegantly simple gameplay hides an impressive level of nuance, while the game’s art direction and sparse approach to world-building make up for its apparent lack of depth and overall play time.
Who knew that the unassuming 2008 title Demon’s Souls would wind up innovating an entirely new subgenre of games? Since FromSoftware released Demon’s Souls and the equally influential Dark Souls series, “Soulslike” games have attracted gamers looking for challenging gameplay, deep character building, and worlds steeped in lore. Here are 10 of the most underrated Soulslike games available now.
I thinks it's a fantastic game personally, even the weakest DS game in the series is better than most other action RPGs in my opinion.
Hope you enjoy your playthrough chief 👍
It was a great game, there is no souls game from fromsoft that was bad. My only complaints were the visuals and bosses were a bit too easy. Other than that it was very fun and probably the only soulsbourne game I played nonstop and beat in just a couple of weeks pre-elden ring (Well, it took me to beat three other soulsborne games which took me years to beat to finally actually get hooked to souls, so I was very hungry for more souls lol).
People didn't like it because of no Miyazaki and the only game I really loved from him was just Bloodborne (Ofc the rest were great games too). Bloodborne is my #1, Ds2 is my #2.
Yeah bosses are not exactly hard that I have come across so far. The graphics are a mixed bag, Scholar of the First Sin on PC with no mods.
Admission time even though I own all Souls games day one editions across the formats, Elden Ring was the only one that really clicked with me to a point I had to finish it. Now going back to ones released on PC to finish those or try to. Bloodborne I wish would come to PC but I might fire up my PS 4 again to play it.
It's wonky here and there, but it's still fun to play and a great world to explore.
Im one of the few that loved the game, i think im like like lvl 550 or something like that.
Ethan Gach: "Spring isn’t officially here for another few weeks but it’s already over 50 degrees outside, new growth is starting to bud, and I’m feeling nostalgic for the dozen or so colorful indie games that I’ve accumulated on my Vita over the years."
Kotaku and Ethan Gach hate Colin Moriaty, yet they monitor, criticise and even copy Colin Moriarty.
