Bandai Namco announced the Japanese release date for its upcoming action-JRPG Code Vein, also showcasing the game in a new trailer.

Azfar from NoobFeed writes: Code Vein is a game that fans of complex RPGs, who also enjoy anime stories and customization, will appreciate. It doesn't replace Dark Souls, but it doesn't have to; it's a unique work of art in its own right.

Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look back at five video games where you are better off "staying inside" as the "outside" is actually much worse!

Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?
Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.
All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.
Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.
Can't frickin wait!!
Im looking forward to this one. Bandai Namco publishes Dark Souls so im hoping someone knew someone so the combat is just as tight/responsive. Looks great so far
Man, I want to get hyped for this game but aside from the character designs the environments look so bland and boring. I’m hoping I’ll be proved wrong and it’ll be as varied as a Souls game with plenty of enemy variety as well.
Yay!! Excited for this!
