There are people who thrive under pressure. For gamers, sometimes this means a giant monster breathing down their neck with the potential of one-shotting them into oblivion.
The PlayStation console has been home for a number of rather difficult and challenging titles over the years, and considering we are nearing the next generation, it is time to look at the hardest PlayStation 4 games of all time. If you are a fan of struggling, you need to play these before PlayStation 5 comes out.
A sequel to the studio's acclaimed title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, would be the perfect swan song for long-time video game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.
I just don't see it happening given the success of Elden Ring. I think we'll be seeing a sequel to Elden Ring before anything else.
I'm not into souls games but it's good to see that this dev studio stick to what makes their titles unique, there's alot of souls copy n pasted games but they rarely get talked about cause they're looked at as copies and not original created ideas, the souls games are unique cause they offer they're own identity instead imitating I respect that
Or Bloodborne 2 preferably both but that’s a lot to ask if he plans on retiring sooner than later
Bloodborne 2 or I'd simply love a 60fps remaster. I'd also love a bloodborne randomiser option.
I'm definitely holding out hope for a Bloodborne 60fps remaster still. Some extra features thrown in would be nice too.
With regards to a sequel, I'd actually rather From Software make another new IP with a different setting. That is what made Bloodborne so good - the fact that it took a proven formula and applied it to a completely new setting.
With this feature, we will be taking a look at Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice all these years later and break down why it remains such a great time.
I regret i never played it, like many other great games!! Still on my radar, when i become retro gamer in a year or two with all this gaas crap happening around
Absolutely. Amazing art design, and didn’t have the Bloodborne problem so it runs at 60FPS on newer hardware, which is amazing given the reaction based gameplay
This one title that never clicked with me. I enjoyed Dark Souls, Demon Souls and Bloodborne, but I never warmed up to Sekiro’s parry-focused combat. I honestly gave up on the game at about the half way point.
Me too. But after the Stellar Blade demo and parrying like crazy I’m tempted to go back and play this again
Took me a couple years too get into when I first bought it. I had gotten so used to Bloodborne that the gameplay was genuinely confusing me. Picked it up a third time and clicked. The game is souls stripped of all its RPG elements and left with nothing but it's combat. It's Souls at its pureness but I can see why the combat would turn people off. That's why I liked it so much tho, without the choice of weapons it's very focused on a specific style. I think a sequel with a small selection of weapons but each fleshed out would be the right step.
My problem with Sekiro was the combat, I didn’t find it as engaging as Bloodborne, DarkSouls due to the lack of RPG elements. I even found action games like Ninja Gaiden 1-2 and Ghost of Tsushima more engaging as well.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Still DS1? You don't feel it's been surpassed yet?
Demon's Souls has the remake of course, but DS1 has surely been outdated?
I think that the DS1 remake is better looking than DS2. The interior lighting matched with the low resolution textures in DS2 is very garish, IMO.
Besides graphics, what do you mean by DS1 being "outdated"? I'm someone who played through Elden Ring and just recently played through the DS series, and as far as gameplay went, there were all very similar.
I haven’t played many but Bloodborne and NIOH1 are on top of my list.. had a blast with these 2
For world design and interconnectedness (that's a word, right?) DS1 is yet to be beaten.
I would agree, but there are some things in DS2 that are great and incredibly memorable. It tries to do things differently, and there are some amazingly cinematic moments.
Of course, there's also poor level design (particularly the interconnectivity of the world), questionable combat choices and some of the worst boss runs since the early days of video games...
I agree with bloodborne, cuphead, darkest dungeon and sekiro but nioh 2 and remnant don’t belong imo. Dark souls 1 and 3 beats those in terms of difficulty. Sekiro is #1 imo and cuphead may be #2. Those games are brutal in their own way.
Remnant has its moments. The main sp game of Bloodborne wasn't that hard,but some of the bosses in the chalice dungeons were including the dlc. I haven't even finished the first Nioh so I haven't bothered with 2..lol. I tried Cuphead at a friends house & the game is hard. Sekiro can be hard at times but with patience & learning their move set you can overcome the obstacles.
The binding of isaac platinum is hard and the game is hard to master
I fired up for the 1st time Remnant From the Ashes last night being told it's just like Bloodborne but quicker.......3hrs later it's on ebay if anyone wants it? Lol.
It's stupidly hard!
I found Bloodborne a challenge that's for sure but really rewarding too when you get to another checkpoint or finish off a boss. Its a fantastic game.
Uncharted 4 crushing is outright broken according to many gamers!
