VGChartz's Jacob James: "If you’re going to emulate the best, you’d better get two things right: innovate and elevate from your source material, lest you come off as a contrived imitation. Mortal Shell succeeds in both departments. It sticks so closely to the Souls series that at first glance you’d be forgiven for thinking it was an outright copy, right down to the item descriptions on the loading screen. Though with reverence for the genre and astute attention to what matters most, Mortal Shell retains most fan-favorite core mechanics, while streamlining and completely transforming others."
A look at how modern Soulslikes like Lies of P, The Surge, Lords of the Fallen, and more are innovating beyond FromSoftware’s legendary blueprint.
The Epic Games Store's weekly freebies includes an RPG and some DLC.
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.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
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.
Lies of P and Wuchang Fallen Feathers are best soulsikes to me. I slightly prefer Wuchang ut they’re both awesome. I’d say Black Myth Wukong too but it’s a little more action than most souls games but it could fit in there as well.
Around 20 hrs, not AS difficult as Dark Souls but still challenging with a AAA polish for 30 bucks. I'm down!
