You traverse an open explorable 2D world that is absolutely gorgeous, destroying these wildly inventive and challenging bosses. Deeply inspired by the Souls series, it features similar checkpoints, bosses and health mechanics. Blasphemousīlasphemous is an excellent metroidvania that released earlier in 2019. Its combat is fast paced and constantly evolving, allowing it to stay engaging throughout the whole experience. It’s a deep dive that is both creepy and exciting. Set in the strange world of Hallownest, a world that is inhabited by bug-like creatures much like the Souls series, it’s excellent in the way it slowly reveals its lore and story through the environment and tiny details. It is a deeply atmospheric metroidvania that is largely inspired by Dark Souls in its epic bosses, resource management and difficult combat. Hollow Knight was a huge critical success when it was released. It’s not very thought provoking or crazy, but it’s a great way to spend an evening. Think of Lords of the Fallen as like your very favourite comfort food and all will be fine though. There’s an excellent sense of weight to every strike and every encounter is incredibly satisfying. It offers a neat variety in the feeling of weapons to choose from and each one changes your playstyle significantly. Lords of The Fallen has some great enemies and fantastic weapon design. It has an admittedly mediocre fantasy setting, a fairly tedious story and a lack of original ideas, however I think it got an unfair shake and, while it’s not the most memorable, the combat is really quite good. That criticism is true and, more than any other game on this list, Lords of the Fallen is the closest to its inspiration.
When Lords of the Fallen originally released it received relatively poor reviews, with much of the issue being its very close likeness to Dark Souls. There is not a focus on stats though, with everything much more dependent on equipment the better gear you have, the more powerful you become.Īshen takes everything from Dark Souls and boils it down to the perfect essentials, delivering a great bite-sized version of what we know and love.
