[@pomelomarino7710]

Just to clarify, only the last two games of the Jedi series are soulslike, the rest of the series are action games like Jedi Academy or Jedi Knight.

[@tvblue3010]

Stellar Blade

[@frozenwing123]

The reasons for jedi survivor being on the list is wild. Basically complaining thats its a video game

[@enochjesus6169]

So thankful jedi 1 and 2 have easy mode. Ima SW fan love the gameplay, story, characters, writing so these were must plays. I appreciate the boss difficulty as long as I have an option to whimp out and go low difficulty if necessary.

[@kurtmeyer93]

Yeah, this was a bad take by Mojo. The Jedi games are phenomenal. Their reasoning of detracting from being a Jedi just to be pushed around by a stormtrooper, could be something that would happen in the lore. If you’re too overpowered all the time, it’s no fun.

[@xandertrotter3504]

I always play on easy because of my mental health. I avoid souls like games, but the Jedi games were not difficult for me at all. There were some moments that were harder than some, but I beat both easily and enjoy them 😁

[@xandertrotter3504]

@enochjesus6169 Glad I'm not the only one! I've got trauma and PTSD, games are an escape for me and the last thing I want to do is get upset and want to throw my $79.99 controller 🤣

[@BlazerK1914]

I’m not a fan of Souls-type games, and I hope Darksiders 4 doesn’t play like that.

[@uafc1]

I'm hoping it is. The devs of that game are the same that did the Remnant series, Chronos and Darkisders 3. They have perfected the formula a lot since their first attempt. The last game, Remnant 2, is considered their best.

[@pir8prod]

I hope it's a shooter as Death is the playable character.

[@TaniaDlc-z2x]

That play more like 3rd person shooter but it fit strife gameplay so that ok

[@zengram]

Darksiders 3 is my least favorite of the saga because of the souls like elements(unnecessary in my case)

[@jack7096]

Git gud but in all seriousness i agree not with the darksiders 4 thing but the fact that souls likes are everywhere yeah if it’s good and fun I’ll buy it but where are my dmc likes my bayonetta likes my god of war likes

[@Egg_of_the_King]

This list doesn't make much sense because a lot of these games were designed with Souls-like mechanics from the start. It's like saying Dark Souls shouldn't have been a Souls-like.

[@denb7934]

Feels like they're trying to gatekeep soulslike genre only for FromSoftware games, like wtf?? It's like saying that every fps game is a doomlike or a CoDlike, genres exist for a reason and yea, when something is successful, others try to follow it and imo, it's worse with games like new GoW or new AC games, that changed their whole series, just to be more like Dark Souls, with dodges, parries, light attack, heavy attack and no jump button with a 3rd person shooter camera

[@davidlance5310]

Take a shot every time The Legend of Zelda is mentioned

[@denb7934]

I swear, we've so many different good action games and bro only mentions Zelda over and over again 🤦🏽🤣

[@missedgames]

[@maxkliegl2001]

Except Lords of The Fallen was meant to be a soulslike. That was in the series' DNA from the start. Same goes for The Surge and Remnant games.

Try to switch your genres then, there're many jrpgs that are hack n slash, the Yakuza series, more of a beat em up but there's Like a Dragon Ishin which is a hack n slash, Hades, Ninja Gaiden remasters, Darksiders 2 just recently got a ps5 update, Rise of the Ronin, Tales series, Scarlet Nexus, Wanted Dead, Kingdom Hearts series, Nier duology, like seriously, we're good on hack n slash side of things, it's just many players don't want to go out out of their comfort zone and to try new things 🤷🏽

[@Nov-5062]

@@denb7934 hey, it's not like the only games I've ever played are dumb action games with zero strategy, and I don't hate those who like souls-like games, I just think it's a shame that a once popular genre of games that I adore was pushed aside and replaced by something I personally really don't like.

[@denb7934]

@Nov-5062 I know, but as I said, it wasn't really replaced, it just that soulslikes are the new hot thing that companies try to replicate, and can you blame them? Look at FromSoftware, Sekiro goty, Elden Ring goty, Elden Ring dlc got nominated for goty, everyone wants a slice of that pie and I get that, me personally I don't like darksoulslikes, but I prefer soulslikes that were inspired by ds. And again, if you want more hack n slash, which I totally get, like that genre too, try some games from the east or some indie games, I'm sure you'll find plenty of good games that gonna scratch your old school hack n slash itch 🙂

[@WetWattz]

I'm getting extremely tired of this trend. So much potential for third person hack n slash games with today's graphics.

[@dubbmoon]

Agreed.

[@Egg_of_the_King]

It's not a trend, these mechanics are here to stay because they work very well when they're handled with care. In reality there aren't that many true Souls-likes, most games only commit to about half of the formula or they don't understand what actually makes those games great. Souls-likes and Hack n Slash games are fundamentally very different, it's like comparing Souls-likes to 3rd person shooters just because they both use a 3rd person camera.

[@kitsana150631]

I don't think video game company will care about your opinion

[@ikervega0116]

I hate that people nowadays think that if your game isnt some hyper realistic soulslike than it doesnt deserve any attention or praise

[@VenomousCarnage69]

[@jasontomlinson1602]

This list is a joke right? Remnant From the Ashes was such a breath of fresh air, combining a shooter with a souls like and pulling it off so well. Most of the games you have listed are really well done and you're just listing them because they're Souls like and without any sound reasoning for most. And adding Darksiders 3 but ignoring that Darksiders 2 was a souls like...what even is this list?

[@remarkableputter6622]

It is surprising no one thought of it before....the idea is literally something amazing...

[@ytyler2012]

[@gabbertron_]

lmfao Darksiders 2 is absolutely NOT a soulslike

[@Krimson47]

Darksiders 2 is definitely not a soulslike. The gameplay is fast and sometimes chaotic, you can get away with button mashing at lower difficulties (to some extent) and you don't lose resources when you die, which you can reclaim from your character's corpse.

[@BrotherLeegro]

I just want a hack and slash without all the souls like elements.

[@ffgoliveira]

Sorry, but Stellar Blade and Jedi Survivor aren't games like Souls by a mile. Stellar Blade follows the fighting style of Nier Automata, and Jedi Survivor is a more dynamic battle style. The point here is that every game that you guys find difficult to master now is similar to a soul. It becomes a generic term for difficult games today.

[@av_8596]

I don't mind soulslike games entirely. What really annoys me is that stamina meter mechanic, where every attack and every dodge is limited. It feels like the game is crippling me.

[@Wolfboss7]

That's exactly how I feel. Seeing a stamina meter of any sort can kill my enthusiasm for a game.

[@mccuish]

That's the same problem I have

[@zengram]

Absolutely right in the spot

[@Egg_of_the_King]

The point is that you need to manage stamina and pick your openings. You can't just mindlessly button mash or attack and dodge endlessly. It's the reason a lot of Hack n slash games feel empty. Sure they are kid-friendly and you will finish them pretty quickly, but it's not rewarding when there's no cost to every attack and dodge you make and you can do everything quite easily.

[@zerascarlet8733]

​@@Egg_of_the_King Ah yes, punishing the players when they make a slight mistake and starting the boss all over again is such a rewarding experience.

[@7777mikail]

I don't agree, if there is a difficulty choice it's not really a souls.

[@JRRR92]

Hard bosses? Limited health items? Slow metodical combat? Bonfire-like places to rest, recover health, recover health items, serve as waypoints and spent experience points? Losing all your experiencia points when killed and having to recover them before dying or risk losing them completely when dying again? If yes to those then it's a souls-like.

[@dingus4909]

@@JRRR92 But you're not understanding a crucial element that makes FromSoftware games so good. They design their game with one difficulty in mind, the difficulty that works the best with those mechanics. This is why so many "Souls" like games fail miserably, they don't understand what truly makes FromSoftware successful.

I agree with your list, but woukd have replaced Stellar Blade with Black Myth Wukong. The former has a few traits from those games, but is incredibly accessible to anyone. Especially when you consider it has difficulty options, a feature souls & souls likes lack. The latter was advertised as “GoW in China” and focused heavily on that aspect, while blindsiding the consumer into buying a very definite souls like that most definitely did not need to be

[@qalidurut7249]

It was marketed as a souls like from the very beginning

[@Wolfboss7]

Good to know I'm not alone in having gotten tired of the Soulslike formula. I get it's popular, but not every game needs to follow the format, but that's what it feels like the gaming industry's latched onto. Even worse, it feels like their prominence has driven just straight up old fashioned hack 'n slash games into something of a recession.

[@uafc1]

No, hack and slash have died way before soulslikes became popular. No good hack and slash games between 2013 and 2018 and barely any soulslike from that time outside of Fromsoft games.

I will defend Darksiders 3 as a soulslike. The way I see it, each horseman's gameplay style is supposed to be different from the last. The first two were still hack and slash, but Death offered more agility and parkour than War. Here's hoping that Strife will be more Devil May Cry/ Bayonetta with gun combat in Darksiders 4

[@B_Clemethy]

Did you try Darksiders Genesis?

[@Alex-ng6hc]

@B_Clemethy Actually, no. But I don't really consider it a main entry, more of a spin-off, like Gears Tactics. I expect the next game to be Darksiders 4, and with Strife as the player character

What I don't like about souls-like games is when you die, you lose the "souls" that you use for purchasing skills, upgrades and leveling up your character. And losing all of it when you died the second time around trying to get the "souls" on an area you got killed. And I hate that Darksiders 3 became like that.

[@Gundolf300]

What many don't get is that the challenge of the souls-game doesn't only lie in enemies being hard af. It's a number of other things. One being, even if not mentioned often or is that obvious at all, is that the movement and fighting system are just clunky and bad as hell. I genuinely hate when studios think that in order to increase the difficulty in a game they need to adapt or make their own version of bad clunky fighting system only to end up with something that's even worse.

[@TwistyMcFisty]

Darksiders III was not made by the same people who made the first two games. Which explains why they went with a completely different direction for it.

[@ReaperAlex91]

Lords of the Fallen, The Surge, Steelrising, Remnant, Stellar Blade, and Jedi Survivor are their own games and I'm glad they had souls-like elements. I'm starting to see why alot of people don't watch Mojo Vidoes.

I don't agree with some of these games on this list because they are not Soulslikes. If a game has difficulty settings and loads of checkpoints and save points they are not Soulslike.

“Why can’t I mindlessly button mash?!”

[@professormilly2021]

This list is a little wild for several reasons. Most of the justification is "this game would've appealed to more people if it weren't souls like". I think that's a horrible reason in most of these cases. Like, why we would want to take away the thing that separates Remnant from other basic co-op looter shooters? I also don't think Stellar Blade should be up here.

[@vexicution5533]

I`m getting fed up of bloody souls-likes, ever since 2012 when darksouls came out that genre has not stopped being made mean while hack & slash games have been taking a backseat, last year alone had over 10 of them. I was indifferent at first but when ppl wouldn't shut up about it I ended up hating it plus ppl kept on talking about it being difficult and acting this is the only game that does this meanwhile forgetting/Ignoring that a game called Ninja Gaiden had difficulty and guess what? it`s a hack & slash game. One thing I will say is that there are some things that are good in souls-likes which is why I like Stellar Blade, that is a mix of both hack & slash and souls-lite and took the best parts, melee combos from H&S and bosses from souls-likes. Also Darksiders 4 being a mix of hack & slash and 3rd person shooting is a sick idea, there are game that exists with this genre but it`s not done as much or gone to there full potential, Wanted Dead being an example. There was a certain game that I won`t mention had a sick looking art style and I liked the way the protagonist looked but when I found out it was a souls-like I was bloody disappointed, I even played the demo and remembered why I don`t like souls-likes: slow, restrictive combat, a bloody stamina bar, boring slow cutscenes and high difficulty even the UI looks boring. Now I have been seeing ppl talking about H&S game, how much they love them and I have some very good news for you... Here are some H&S games you can check out: Soulstice Valkyrie Elysium Wanted: Dead Etenights Stella Blade Project DT Project M Lost Soul Aside Phantom Hellcat Arise of Awakener Granblue Fantasy Relink Yasuke A Lost Descendent Shred & Tear: Explosive Kajun Phantom Blade SuperSimmer Astor: Blade of the Monolith Captain Blood Mightreya 13Z And just to talk about one of them in detail. Soulstice. It`s a dark fantasy, hack & slash game made by Reply Game Studios. The game takes inspirations from the anime Claymore and Berserk, you will see the inspirations strait away as soon as you see the main character and the boss designs. If you decide to play Soulstice I'd recommend that you watch Claymore and Berserk first just to get you hyped up to play the game. And for icing on the cake, Reply Game Studios said they want to be the Italian version of Platinum Games. There are a lot more that are out there, H&S games are really fun to play and I'm so glad to see more of them. Shouts out to hack & slash games, they are making a comeback.

[@Vilagen531]

While I understand the arguments you could make for it, I don't consider Jedi Survivor a souls like game. Its focus on platforming and movement is already a big departure to the soul's series.

Darksiders 3 should not have been a soulslike game. And I really hope darksiders 4 is not a soulslike

[@Evolwhotion]

You could add Black Myth wukong to this list...

[@andrewb214]

I absolutely loved Darksiders 3

Awwww, poor baby!

Git gud

[@hawaiianblanka5534]

I was a fan of souls like games and I loved the darksider games but when the 3rd game came out I just couldn’t get into it. The open world exploration, the fighting mechanics and even leveling up didnt make sense for it.

[@reggiefurlow1]

Stellar should have been like bayoneta

[@VaioStreams]

Wishing wont do anything. All we have to do is wait this out. Remember back when the OG Xbox came out and we were hit with Halo? Then every game after that had to be an FPS. It stayed that way through most of gen 7 and is finally dyeing out. This too will pass.

[@MisterSinghsStrangeProductions]

Ridiculous to include surge and remnant series to the list. Am currently 100 hours in Remnant 1 and it’s great. Looks like the list was simply made by someone who dislikes soulslike or sucks at these games.

[@brutalstrudel6793]

Ppl spend so much money on a console/pc and games just to mash 1 or 2 buttons with their brain turned off. Don’t know why someone like that would play action games but to each their own 😂

[@bTwice2x]

Remove Stellar Blade from this list. It is in a class of its own. So is Star Wars Jedi Survivor.

[@braethenerd5109]

I never found the star wars Jedi games as souls like

[@MakuTheOtaku]

Idk somehow I don't think The Surge would have even gotten a sequel if it was a straight up action game. It looks too much like a generic sci-fi game.

[@raymondbermudez555]

I played Darksiders 3 before playing 2 and... I like 3 more.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

I wish Lies of P wasn't a Soulslike. I like the aesthetic but it is way too hard for me to play. I want an easier Steampunk game. There's 2D Soulslikes? Geralt is telling us the story of Tails of Iron. Strangers of Paradise is nowhere near as difficult? Good. Stellar Blade has Souls difficulty? I was able to get through the demo.

[@farmoone7418]

I don't hate soul like , sometimes i just need enjoy action game

[@TyeDye622]

Darksiders 3, Lords of the Fallen, Stellar Blade, and the Star Wars Jedi series are pushing the souls formula forward and feel extremely rewarding. They dont belong on this list. How boring would it be to sit there and button mash these games for 20 plus hours? Not to mention, not every action game shouldn't be like the legend of zelda which hasn't been good since skyward sword.

[@moonknightdragon]

I love souls-like games don't see anything wrong with that.

[@MasterChiefSnake19910128]

I’m worries about upcoming new Capcom game was Onimusha: Way of the Sword if Capcom added SoulsLike genre on Onimusha, I’m so disappointed but they should stick with action hack ‘n’ slash genre compares to previous games.
