GameCrate: "This week’s Indie Update is all about game jams and retro inspiration. It’s no secret that a lot of the best indie titles are inspired by games of past generations. Surprisingly, however, other fantastic indies have come by way of game jams, fast-paced developer competitions that give birth to all sorts of interesting and wild ideas. We now take a look at a few retro-styled indie releases, as well as the world of game jams."

Love the newest Strider! Definitely underrated.

Love these lists as i now want to check out Momodora (on PS extra) and Ender Lillies.

It's a very solid list and the best part is that I think all of them are on other platforms so more people can play them.

Just going through DS 2 now, it's really not a bad game.

LoveSpuds611d ago

I thinks it's a fantastic game personally, even the weakest DS game in the series is better than most other action RPGs in my opinion.

Hope you enjoy your playthrough chief 👍

It was a great game, there is no souls game from fromsoft that was bad. My only complaints were the visuals and bosses were a bit too easy. Other than that it was very fun and probably the only soulsbourne game I played nonstop and beat in just a couple of weeks pre-elden ring (Well, it took me to beat three other soulsborne games which took me years to beat to finally actually get hooked to souls, so I was very hungry for more souls lol).

People didn't like it because of no Miyazaki and the only game I really loved from him was just Bloodborne (Ofc the rest were great games too). Bloodborne is my #1, Ds2 is my #2.

Yeah bosses are not exactly hard that I have come across so far. The graphics are a mixed bag, Scholar of the First Sin on PC with no mods.
Admission time even though I own all Souls games day one editions across the formats, Elden Ring was the only one that really clicked with me to a point I had to finish it. Now going back to ones released on PC to finish those or try to. Bloodborne I wish would come to PC but I might fire up my PS 4 again to play it.

It's wonky here and there, but it's still fun to play and a great world to explore.

Jiub611d ago

People gave DS2 way too much hate.

saint_seya611d ago
