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.

GeeEssEff85d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga85d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast84d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion85d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy0185d ago (Edited 85d ago )

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.

robtion84d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha84d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z84d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

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

LoveSpuds982d 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 👍

GoodGuy09982d ago (Edited 982d ago )

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.

lonewolf10981d ago

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.

Ramboforlife981d ago

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

Jiub982d ago

People gave DS2 way too much hate.

saint_seya982d ago

Im one of the few that loved the game, i think im like like lvl 550 or something like that.

982d ago
Father__Merrin982d ago

If you haven't played Ashen yet it's worth a go very good game

_Decadent_Descent982d ago

Demon's Souls was a 2009 release.
