I’ll probably get hate for this but most Fromsoft games. I just have never been able to get into them at all. It has nothing to do with it being hard, I enjoy hard games and always play on the highest difficulty. I just can’t get into the combat, it’s not fun for me.
I love Fromsoft games, but I’ve always thought that people kind of have horse blinders on when evaluating them as a whole.
What I think sets them apart:
the art
the setting and vibe
melee combat controls
What I think they severely lack:
sometimes it feels like I have to google nearly everything in these games because they never explain mechanics/items/quests properly. Most people would argue that’s part of the charm, but I don’t think it’s executed well at all.
Basic combat is generally very fluid, but there are things that are just straight trash, such as ranged weapons. I just won’t use those weapons for anything other than pulling mobs away from others
the story is just so abstract sometimes that I rarely know etc is going on
co-op multiplayer sucks. It really says something when a player-created mod works better than a system that’s been in multiple games
Sorry I hate you. Demon’s souls changed my life, and I’ve got 1000 hours into nightreign and probably 950 into Elden ring and I’ve played all the dark souls also. This formula is my Jam. I love them.
But at the end of the day… It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I enjoy plenty of other games too. Hollow knight, balatro, etc.
