Since 2009, FromSoftware has left an indelible mark on the gaming industry, and its game structure has been replicated in titles such as Ashen, Lords of the Fallen, and Nioh. The time has come for 'Soulsborne' to become more than a buzzword and be recognised as an RPG subgenre in its own right.
Are you ready to become the Master of Fate? That's what you'll be doing with the latest free update for Lords of the Fallen.
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.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
I love that picture :)
I have to say though that while I agree that "SoulsBourne" should become an RPG sub-genre in it's own right, I hope we dont just get clones of the 'soulsbourne' games. I like what The Surge tried to do with the formula, and I'm very interested to see how Sekiro will turn out, if that can still be viewed as a "SoulsBourne" game.
