Most Underrated Soulslike Games

Who knew that the unassuming 2008 title Demon’s Souls would wind up innovating an entirely new subgenre of games? Since FromSoftware released Demon’s Souls and the equally influential Dark Souls series, “Soulslike” games have attracted gamers looking for challenging gameplay, deep character building, and worlds steeped in lore. Here are 10 of the most underrated Soulslike games available now.

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

LoveSpuds633d 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 👍

GoodGuy09633d ago (Edited 633d 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.

lonewolf10632d 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.

Ramboforlife632d ago

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

Jiub633d ago

People gave DS2 way too much hate.

saint_seya633d ago

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

Demon's Souls was a 2009 release.

MX vs ATV is always fun but otherwise meh.

CobraKai785d ago

I wonder if the PS+ monthly games will start looking like this after the new tiers arrive

crazyCoconuts784d ago

Hoping not since it seems to still be a part of their long term pricing plan. Feels like Gold is getting phased out, dunno

peppeaccardo784d ago

With $75 in value and 3200 in Gamerscore. What about just one game valued at $50 BUT enough good to be actually playable? Quantity over Quality ... usual MS !

MadLad784d ago

You want quality? Get Gamepass.

Otherwise, just like Playstation, you're getting fleeced by having the luxury of using your own internet to play online.

Oh, and here's some games we got for dirt cheap to make it feel less like a scam.

lodossrage784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

If you want some sense of ownership, stick with Games with Gold

And if I remember correctly, aren't Microsoft the ones that started the whole getting fleeced by having the luxury of using your own internet to play online? Hell, most of MS base was ok with paying to play online and get nothing in return until the tailend of the 360 era when GWG first started.

Everyone keeps singing gamepass praises over PS Plus or GWG, but nobody likes to speak on the face that when gamepass games leave the service, you have to buy them if you still want to play them. At least with PS Plus and GWG you still have them in your library to grab even after the games are swapped out monthly.

But then again, people are slowly becoming more and more accepting of companies telling them they shouldn't have any sense of ownership at all so I'm not too shocked.

MadLad784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

@lod

I'm 30 years old and Xbox did that when I was ten.
Stop living in the past.
All console companies followed, and offered weaker services going forward at that time. They're not better now.

Maybe not so much blame Xbox, and more blame other companies for following. Nobody forced anyone to buy an Xbox.

lodossrage784d ago (Edited 784d ago )

@ TheRealTedCruz

I'm older than you and I'm not sure where you're getting this "living in the past" notion when things that happened in the past have relevance to the current times.

And as for weaker/better, that's debatable. Better in terms of what?

And yes, I do blame Xbox for consoles ushering in the pay to play online idea because they marketed it heavily as "paying for it makes it better", in turn, customers accepted that, and the other two followed suit because of the money to be made.

It's the same way I blame Sony for customers sense of entitlement. Ever since Sony started PS Plus and giving away games on the cheap, customers have come to expect more and more while paying as little as possible, which in turn, made other companies follow suit.

Nobody "forces" anyone to "do" anything. But the reality is good, bad, or indifferent, if it shows profit others will copy.

CobraKai784d ago

I gave up on games with gold. Used to be decent to good. Now it’s mostly throw away. I’m not a fan of Game Pass either. Being an older family man with a demanding job doesn’t make Game Pass worth the money I spent each month. Games I started are now gone. RPGs like Outer Worlds, I coulda just bought the disc. Then again, I’m not a fan of streaming video services either.

Sayai jin784d ago

GWG has been sub standard for while now. They need to offer better games or merge it with regular game pass at no additional charge.
