    Souls Like Has Changed Gaming Forever, how fromsoft created an entire genre of games. It's weird to think about but it's a reality and thanks to Fromsoft proving the formula better than any other, it's a truth we cannot ignore. Soulslike is just here to stay

      Same I'm ngl it was code vein that actually got me in the genre in the first place since I never had much interest in souls games knowing that they're mostly known for being hard but then I beat code vein right around the time elden ring was released with all that hype around it and elden ring solidified my love for the genre now I've beat dark souls 3 and lies of p and want to tackle the other 2 souls games and sekiro

    Lies of P was my first soulslike and I loved it, it got me into that kind of games! After that I finished Sekiro and now I'm going through Elden Ring, such amazing games! Still my favorite will always be Lies of P, truly a masterpiece!

    I’m obsessed with Lies of P. It’s so good. Like all souls games it’s not perfect but it’s amazing to play. I have over 150 hours in a game that takes 30 hours to complete the first play through and around 10-14 on subsequent play throughs. It’s just so good

    Hey Evan. Great video as always! However when sponsored segment came in I couldn't help but notice that the music for it isn't actually from the game, or even made by them. It's the original score for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, composed by Brian Tyler.

    If you praise Remnant 2 you get a like from me! Where Lies of P builds on the foundation to create the best "Fromsoft souls-like," Remnant says, "hey what if we put mindbreaking puzzles, looter shooter elements, actual classes and infinite replayability into this concept?" and I love it so much for that. It also throws out a lot of concepts you'd expect in a souls-like that don't actually make sense when you think about them for a few seconds. Obtuse co-op? Get rid of it. Dropping souls on death? Who needs it. Long boss runs? Just put a bonfire in front of every fight. Game too hard? Here's an easy mode, plus two difficulties above what you'd usually expect, for your enjoyment plus extra drops.

    • @jdrok5026
      @jdrok5026 8 місяців тому

      Obtuse coop it's just a summon system how is that obtuse. Boss runs are apart of gaming. Dropping souls on death is a fundamental part of the genre its a risk/ reward thing. Your saying remnant 2 isn't a souls like because it fails on a major core foundation

    • @brayanjavier2452
      @brayanjavier2452 3 місяці тому

      That game sounds very forgiving, not like a souls like. Where is the risk of losing all your souls? Easy mode? There is no such thing as easy in these kind of games hahah Still it sounds like a fun game

      I don't want souls likes to go away, I just want them to be better. Lies of P set the standard for any non-FromSoft souls-like. Anything that can't reach that level is probably not getting played.
      I certainly don't want us to go back to pumping out "press X to win" DMC games though

      Mate the problem with the guys argument for me is the guy up there is complaining saying "i wish we would just go back to old hack and slash" its clear the guy is not looking hard enough or at all for those games he wants, since you can most definitely find hack and slashes from indie companies, id say everyone below him has a right to say something because he is looking for a reason to complain and not trying to actually fix his issue ​@@thediabolicalraisin8953
