I love Dead Cells, but her argument for soulslike was kinda weak. I'd go Code Vein and Remnant.
"Pixar does Dark Souls" is literally Kena: Bridge of Spirits, which by the standards of this ranking can be also considered a souls-like. Specially due to it's tight and well balanced combat. 100% recommended!
Remember when we didn't call everything a Dark Souls clone? Good times.
There's some games that are basically directly inspire by Dark Souls, like Remnant & Code Vein, but instead of including those, you weirdly include Hollow Knight and Cuphead. Maybe if you squint you can call Hollow Knight Soulslike. But Cuphead is not even fucking remotely close.
this list is a joke… no remnant from the Ashes, no Code Vein, no final fantasy: Stranger of Paradise, no thymesia, no Steelrising, even Hellpoint would be a way better inclusion then all those Metrovenia games
Dead cells has NOTHING TO DO WITH SOULS GENRE
Cuphead has NOTHING TO DO WITH SOULS GENRE!!!!!!!
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Remnant: From the Ashes
Code Vein
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
Steelrising
Mortal Shell
Vampyr
Surge 2
Darksiders III
NiOh
It is a travesty, that you would include Ashen and Immortal: Unchained (few of the worst soulslikes) and not include Remnant: From the Ashes and Code Vein (few of the best soulslikes). Not to mention; Cuphead, Blasphemous and Hollow Knight are not really a soulslikes.
Dead Cells & Cuphead (great games) as soul-likes, but no Salt & Sanctuary, Code Vein or Remnant From the Ashes? Yeah… right… amazing list ¬ ¬.
You added Cuphead just because of a "You Died" screen but left out Salt and Sanctuary which is a 2D Dark Souls through and through 😂
Mortal Shell was so boring 😫
Why Salt and Sanctuary is not on this list?
You cant even get immortal unchained on xbox for some reason its been d listed wtf
No love for Remnant?!
The Surge 2!
mortal shell is boring and slow asf
Surprising that Salt and Sanctuary isn't mentioned here… Grime is another candidate for this list.
A lot of obvious games are missing from this list, which also is half comprised of metroidvanias and roguelites. Should have renamed this to "challenging games"…
mortal shell is one of the worst games i ever play
Remnant From The Ashes is basically Dark Souls with Guns
All in the title 👌
Ok … some of these games a stretch as "soulslikes". But friggin Cuphead? serioulsy?
Haven't played some of these, but I would also throw out Code Vein in contention for this list.
For me, Ashen was more difficult than any actual Souls game.
Mortal Shell instead of Remnant From the Ashes? This list sucks
Deym title uploader high af
I'm surprised they didn't include gran turismo 7 on here, that had some pretty tough challenges
ID LOVE FOR YPUR HANGERS TO BE OUT WITH ME TOO. THANK YOU
Good list,i love these games. But…If you want a very good "Dark Souls with guns" game,"Remnant from the ashes" is what you looking for. Best game of 2019 for me,and much much more better than Immortals…And Code Vein very good too.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits would've probably have been a good addition to this list as well. It looks cutesy but there's definitely some difficulty to mastering the combat mechanics.
Finaly Hollow Knight in first place!!! One of the best games I ever played.
Jess, try not to mention Lords of the Fa-Vomits when describing Souls-like games, even referencing it causes a visceral reaction.
Wow, Immortal Unchained got a mention. I'm impressed. Nobody ever talks about this great game.
This os just a list of difficult games only a few are soulsike this is the definition of a click bait title with no actaul research done
If someone would ask me what the worst souls like games are, I'd say Immortal Unchained and Mortal Shell. How tf did they end up on this list? Immortal Unchained is boring as hell, there's nothing to see, nothing to explore and the bosses are more annoying than anything. And Mortal Shell is just a MASSIVE pain in the ass, because there are stupid traps around quite literally every corner in the game. And having traps just for the sake of having them is horrible game design. Even Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty in its current state is better than those two games.
Also, if you do a list about the "BEST" soulslike games, you gotta include Code Vein. It may not the THE best soulslike, but it's up there for sure.
ender lilies is absolutely fantastic, one of my favorite games ever.. steel rising was brilliant and thymesia was also a great game but i was disappointed by its length. it was over too quickly and left me wanting more.
I’ve tried and played all of these games. Hollow knight, Dead cells and the other side scroller are not souls like games I hate it when people compare apples and oranges… the other that borrow souls formula fail to capture the magic… that fromsoftware creates… Nioh and Nioh 2 are cool but now where near the level of dark souls. Dark souls isn’t about difficulty or about stats or any of that Fromsoftware creates worlds full of wonder they are games that want you to explore see and be amazed by the creativity of these talented people over there. Only fromsoftware can design levels like fromsoftware…
