Do you usually play action-adventure role-playing games, or are soulslikes the exception? Have you found tastes in games be majorly influenced by your liking Soulslikes?

I don’t think it’s had an influence on the games I like but more so on my being rather picky when it comes to combat-focused games. Games that are too spammy or don’t feature good boss fights don’t really interest me these days (with some exceptions here and there). I do like to play other games after having a bit of a break since the last soulslike really had me in its grips.

What about you?

Edit: Also sorry for the lack of posts recently. I admit to having browsed reddit using Stealth for the past couple years which helped me with ideas for posts and memes. Since that’s been shut down recently, I have pretty much no clue what’s happening in the genre right now. I’ve also got exams, so that probably isn’t helping either. :D

    Same here. Bloodborne is the only non-fully-reactive/more-proactive Souls, and no wonder it’s considered by many as their favorite (including me).

    I’m now playing Crimson Desert, and their fighting game approach to combat is incredible. I’ve played like 300 hours and I’m still discovering new moves and combos every now and then.
