what kind of baby looks like a monster skull… am I the only one that is looking at the image and thinking "why are they holding that baby up by the throat?" I can't unsee it.
Evil babies that need held up by the throat

… a demon baby? It's 06:00 here and I'm looking at a small image on a phone. 😂

Define what "getting it right" entails. There have been some extremely good Soulslikes. If you're trying to tell me the Nioh games "don't get it" my eyes will roll right out of my head.So much this. We've gotten so many souls likes by now, but not a single one got it right so far. Lords of the Fallen may finally do the trick.

New team, new engine, set 1000 years after the first, and specifically made to address critiques of the first. I'd be more wary of the fact that this is said team's debut game.To everyone hopeful that this one will really be something to shine, it makes me wonder how you felt about the first one.
Between this and Lies of P, I'm hopeful that at least one of the two will knock it out of the park.i really, really hope this can be something special. just once i'd like to see one of these soulslikes it just "get it"

Would be nice if this ran a bit better than some recent UE5 releases.

I feel like people are reading into the question and becoming defensive. I legitimately just wanted to know what people thought about the first one. I wasn't trying to imply that this game would be trash because the first one was trash. I finished the first one, and though it had faults it was still better than I thought it would be.Serious question, what does it matter, given that pretty much everything but the title is different?

Just say you want everything to be exactly like a FromSoft game and leave it at that. 🤣Sure, I'd say it's the mixture of excellent level design, the joy of exploring said levels which are filled with a variety of well designed and deadly enemies and enemy encounters, "simple" gameplay mechanics that still lead to exciting combat (for example by putting limitations on the player with a stamina bar), fantastic boss fights that you often have to learn, a certain amount of RPG/level mechanics, unique weapons/magic etc., the right amount of difficulty. The bonfire checkpoint system is an important aspect as well, including the loss of experience/currency on death that has to be picked up.

The Nioh games have some obvious Souls influence, but I definitely wouldn't say they feel much like the Souls game because they are going for a way different thing. I think even calling them Soulslikes are kind of pushing it tbh, they aren't really trying to replicate Souls much in the gameplay department like this and Life of Pi or whatever that other one is called coming out next month

It's not a Souslike at that point, it's just a Souls game.
