Ban Souls-likes. Please, for the love all that is holy, ban them. I cannot think of a sub-genre that has so thoroughly burnt itself out in so short a time while producing so little of value. Numerous imitators have come and gone while the very games they’re trying to ape continue to be made. What good is a middling Dark Souls clone when Dark Souls is right there? This very year we had Elden Ring for goodness sake!
Of course, there is one beloved From Software property you can’t play on PC (at least, outside of some wonky streaming options). Bloodborne has long been demanded for the platform and so, maybe, Thymesia has a place here? Offering players a taste of an experience beyond their reach? If it’s a taste, it’s no more than a mouldy breadcrumb.
