Oh, and I DEFINATELY don’t consider Hollow Night a “souls-like”. It’s a metroid-vania. It just has DS’s death mechanic…and that’s about it.
Some of y’all think “hard” means “souls-like”. Boy oh boy, wait until you play a NES or SNES game. Megaman 2 is still harder than any Souls game I’ve played.
The souls games were based off the King’s field series which was also developed by Fromsoftware. They should be on the top of the list instead of Demon’s Souls.
I know it got middling reviews, but out of these the one I keep on going back to the most?
Remnant: From the Ashes. Gunplay souls-like is a unique and difficult thing to pull off and I don’t think they got their due credit for doing so in that game.
The term “soulslike” is thrown around so much by the drones of the gaming community that people are gonna start calling someone’s boner a soulslike because it’s hard.
I think I own 17 or 18 of these so far. Nothing like a true Fromsoft game though. Nioh, The Surge, Code Vein and Star Wars were pretty great as far as non-Indie soulslikes go.
So sad literally nobody played Stranger of Paradise. It should be right under nioh 2 but it made the foolish mistake of coming out the same month as Elden Ring. SoP is probably in my top 3 for this year tbh.

How good is steel rising?
No love for Monster Hunter games? They helped pioneer the stamina management combat RPG genre for years.
Star Wars Jedi isn’t souls like.
Has anyone else played the surge games? I tried the first and couldn’t really get in to it, was wondering if the second was any better
I finished Let It Die without spending a penny, it was the most stressful time of my life

the family tree
You got big time updating to do
While aesthetically more like Zelda, I think Tunic’s gameplay makes it more like a soulslike.
Salt and sanctuary ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is outward not a soulslike?
Hellpoint is fun if you can put up with some jank combat/movement etc. The exploration is fun with plenty of secrets to find.
Add cuphead you cowards
Nioh 2 is god damn amazing
NGL I don’t consider Sekiro a “souls-like”.
Souls-likes are RPGs. Sekiro is not.

Playing through Thymesia right now, it’s surprisingly really, really good
Way too many metoridvanias on this list
You’re missing Salt and Sacrifice too, at the least
I’ve beat 14 on that list.
Can’t believe no one is commenting about remnant. Worries me y’all haven’t played the best third person shooter-souls.
Nostalgia is souls like
I can’t wait for lies of P
Several of these titles are not not soulslikes.
Sekiro is an arpg made by from and Miyazaki himself stated that it wasn’t built upon the souls games nor was it an evolution of his previous titles.
Jedi for the same reasons as sekiro is not a souls like.
Holow knight, blasphemous, deaths gambit and moon scars are metroidvania’s. Dark siders is not a souls like either.
Fromsoft’s souls tiles were revolutionary in how they changed the arpg formula in a way that was so unique that a new genre had to be formed.
There is a strict set of genre defining things that are necessary for a game to be called a souls like.
That said I agree with all the other titles.
Stranger of Paradise should be under Nioh and Nioh 2. Like the game or not, it’s definitely part of the Souls lineage and the first actual Nioh-like.

How was Asterigos?

I’ve played the Jedi game. How is it a Souls-like? What did I miss?
Oh Mortal Shell, you’ll have a special place in my heart forever. Thank you
I really want a sequel to Remnant – From the Ashes, the game that Hellgate London wanted to be…

I need Blasphemous 2
I loved necropolis so much. It breaks my heart it was abandoned 😔
I think I own 17 or 18 of these so far. Nothing like a true Fromsoft game though. Nioh, The Surge, Code Vein and Star Wars were pretty great as far as non-Indie soulslikes go.
Strangers of Paradise is missing
Remnant from the ashes was a fcking great game!
Dead Cells and Death’s Door would also be uh, fitting
I see Jedi Fallen Order more as a metroidvania than a souls
Notice a lack of everything that came before Demons since it’s not originator of the genre.
Not sure about a few inclusions… Like, hollow knight and blasphemous are Metroid-vanias, not very souls-like
