Would plunge attack over and over again. Souls-like is an okay term, I just find it disingenious. That's the problem with metroidvania as well, you're comparing something instead of judging a title on it's own merits.

Make it stop

It an official genre now, how this will effect gaming have yet to be seen.
Evan Butler
Theres no such thing as an "offical genre". But yes, souls-like is pretty much already a thing.
Jaxon Thompson
it basically is a genre.
>gothic/dark themes
>money is tied to exp or some leveling mechanic
>item descriptions tell stories
Adrian Cooper
Yes.
I don't mind it as it can lead to fun games.
But adding to series that never had it in the first place, looking at you Darksiders 3, is some stupid shit.

If you weren’t either living under a rock, retarded, or underage, you would already know the answer.

Souls-like is a meme designation and Souls games didn't bring anything mechanically unique to the table. Corpse runs have been a thing for a long time, zoomers.
