So here is a generic question, I feel like I’ve been sharing too many news articles. My favorite so far is Final Doom - The Plutonia Experiment however it seems like Celeste can take it’s place. How about you? Bonus question: What is your favorite genre? I love First Person Shooters most myself.
Dark Souls 1, I loved the atmosphere and the polished combat.
While my personal fave is Demon Souls, They took their experience with that and pretty much improved everything with Dark Souls. Def the best of the bunch.
My introduction to the Souls-like genre was Hollow Kight, it didn’t make a good first impression to say the least :(
Wait, you didn’t enjoy Hollow Knight?
Souls-like mechanics ruined everything for me. Having only 2 checkpoints in a big map and having them both really far away from the boss isn’t fun for me. I can’t learn his pattern becsuse I forget whay little I have learned while trying to get back to him, having to hunt your soul just to get your stuff back is also very frustrating. I will probably play Dark Souls at one point just for the sake of being open-minded, but I am not looking forward to it at all.
Aah, I guess I can understand that! I like games that are a bit punishing, so for me those are not huge hurdles stopping me from enjoying the game. But hey, thank God we’re all different :grinning face with smiling eyes:
Hollow Knight is more of a Metroidvania than a Soulslike, probably. Those terms are pretty vague though.
It is a metroidvania with souls-like elements, latter of which pretty much ruins the game.

No, apperantly souls-likes are supposed to be like this. Hollow Knight definitely has some of those.
