Too often, Soulslikes build around the superficial qualities of FromSoftware's hits and neglect the secret sauce (or miss it entirely). Luckily for me and those who feel the same way, Round8 Studio and Neowiz knocked it out of the park with their Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike, Lies of P. I felt right at home playing through this, and it turned into a really fun conversation.

Unisciti alla ribellione su Telegram – Iscriviti alla newsletter – Supportaci su Patreon Li abbiamo chiamati “soulslike” perché si parlava di sviluppatori che provavano a fare il cosplay di Miyazaki senza riuscirci. Senza gli stessi processi mentali, senza lo stesso fascino, limitandosi solo all'estetica dark e a quella vibe da pali nel culo che sì, era parte dell'opera e del messaggio, ma poi abbiamo scoperto non essere il posto dove risiedevano i 21 grammi di anima dei Souls. Ad un certo punto è Miyazaki stesso a scendere a compromessi con Miyazaki. Esce Sekiro, e viene fuori che si può fare qualcosa che sembri un soulslike pur non essendo copiato paro paro da quel modello lì. E allora altri iniziano a fare la stessa cosa. Escono cose tipo Tunic, dove a far da padrone tra le varie “componenti Soulslike” è il linguaggio che parla il gioco, che qui diventa una lingua vera ed esplicita che puoi decifrare una pagina del libretto alla volta. Esce Black Myth: Wukong, e viene fuori che basta spostarsi qualche miglio più a Occidente rimanendo però dove di solito il sole va a tramontare per tirare fuori qualcosa di simile, ma fondamentalmente diverso. E destinato probabilmente a fare scuola, visto quanto rumore ha fatto. Escono gli Hell is Us anche se non se ne accorge apparentemente nessuno, ma ormai non si torna più indietro e non puoi aspettarti di rifare i soulslike come si facevano prima e vedere la gente in festa. Se non ci credi chiedere a Bluepoint e al remake di Demon's Souls.
Lever Silksong op til de skyhøje forventninger?Hollow Knight: Silksong er et Metroidvania-spil med Soulslike-elementer, udviklet og udgivet af australske Team Cherry.Det er også efterfølgeren til Hollow Knight fra 2017, der ikke bare er en af de mest elskede indie-titler i verden - det er også det bedst sælgende Metroidvania-spil nogensinde. Det har solgt over 15 millioner eksemplarer, og folk har ventet i spænding på efterfølgeren. Men de har ventet længe. Meget længe. Det er nemlig mere end otte år siden, det første spil udkom, og mange var begyndt at tro, at Silksong aldrig ville komme.Oprindeligt var Silksong tiltænkt som en DLC, men ambitionerne steg, og i 2019 blev Hollow Knight: Silksong annonceret som en reel efterfølger. Man kunne endda prøve spillet til E3 2019 - men siden da har der været radiotavshed. Lige indtil Xbox Summer Showcase i år, hvor det blev officielt, at titlen ville udkomme i år.Men nu skal vi se, om det kan leve op til de skyhøje forventninger.I denne episode deltager Mark Elsberg, Felix Sanchez, Emil Øgaard, Daniel Møgelhøj og Morten Urup. Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.
Nachdem wir in Folge 54 bereits Werdegang, Einflüsse und Herangehensweise von Hidetaka Miyazaki skizziert haben, geht's diesmal vor allem um die Spiele des japanischen Gamedesigners und Elden-Ring-Schöpfers. Was hat Demon's Souls seinerzeit so besonders gemacht, dass es vom Fast-Flop zum Geheimtipp aufgestiegen ist? Warum wurde ausgerechnet Dark Souls zum erstem Mainstream-Hit von From Software? Wieso sind die Souls-Spiele trotz – oder gerade wegen – ihres unerbittlichen Schwierigkeitsgrades so ungeheuer beliebt? Wie hat es der Japaner geschafft, mit Bloodborne und Sekiro thematisch völlig unterschiedliche Titel zu kreieren, die dennoch unverkennbar seine Handschrift tragen und sich neuartig, aber zugleich vertraut anfühlen? Ist Dark Souls 2 wirklich das „schlechteste“ Souls-Spiel, weil Miyazaki nicht als Regisseur an Bord war? Und wieso ist Elden Ring aktuell eigentlich so unglaublich erfolgreich? Über all das und mehr sprechen Andy, Benedikt und Sönke in einer offenen und bisweilen philosophischen Diskussionsrunde. Obendrein lassen wir die Games-Insider-HörerInnen zu Wort kommen, die wir via Twitter und Discord befragt haben, was ihnen an den Spielen von Hidetaka Miyazaki am besten gefällt. Logisch, dass wir auch hierzu unsere Meinung kundtun müssen! Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge, Andy, Benedikt & Sönke

This week we're discussing some very important shit like: Lenny Kravitz's Laffy-Taffy shaped dong, what makes a game a Soulslike, how Aaron can't take anything seriously, games that begin with "H", and possibly making a choose-your-adventure game on the Super Ghost website.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally available, and we've been playing the highly anticipated Metroidvania. In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, we dive into our impressions of Silksong's first act (roughly the first eight hours until the Greymoor area) and boss fights. Beforehand, Marcus interviews Gearbox leads Graeme Timmins and Andrew Reiner (big disclaimer: Reiner was formerly EIC of Game Informer) about Borderlands 4, which was released a few days ago. Finally, we round out the show by breaking down our Hell is Us review, a fascinating investigation puzzle game with action elements. Notably, it's not a Soulslike. The Game Informer Show is a weekly podcast covering the video game industry.

Scott sits down with Tanner Goodman, who just got back from the EU, and his time at Gamescom in Germany. They talk about everything he saw! Including the standout demos like Crimson Desert (beautiful but overloaded with systems), Silent Hill f (creepy immersive theater), Honor of Kings: World (surprise hit with fun elemental combat and raids), and Valor Mortis (first-person Soulslike with grotesque Napoleonic bosses). Also, reasons why Chronos on Switch 2 disappointed due to poor performance and clunky design. Beyond games, Xbox showed its new handheld, cosplay was everywhere, swag was abundant, and even Netflix, Disney+, and Chiquita Bananas had booths. Give it a listen and huge thanks to Tanner for his time! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

De vakantieperiode zit er dan toch echt bijna op, terwijl JJ nog even lekker ontbijt aan de cocktailbar. Op de redactie vloeit de koffie al rijkelijk, en dat smaakt naar meer: Brieven. Voor deze editie van Brievenmaandag zijn Boris, Jasper en Koos van de partij. En zij zullen het zwarte goud nodig hebben, want er liggen een boel kijkersvragen op de mat. Zo vraagt iemand zich af of de PlayStation Portal nog wel relevant is op een PS5 Pro. Een andere kijker vraagt of de redactie nog wel eens de hort op gaat naar grote evenementen zoals Sail of de Grand Prix van Zandvoort? Het is een flinke brievenbus vol vragen over games, consoles, hobby's én... hygiëne? Al deze onderwerpen, en meer, hoor je tijdens de Brievenmaandag van maandag 1 september 2025.Wanneer treedt er verzadiging op in de soulslike markt?Na het succes van Elden Ring ging het hard. Heel hard. Voor sommige mensen ook wel té hard. Black Myth: Wukong, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Lies of P, een Nightreign DLC van Elden Ring erbij, binnenkort ook nog eens Hell Is Us... De lijst gaat maar door en door. Een kijker vraagt zich af (en misschien ook wel terecht): Zijn er op een gegeven moment niet te veel soulslike/soulslite games op de markt? We leggen de vraag ter discussie op de desk bij de drie heren.Vrijetijdskings: Vragen over de redactie buiten werktijdBinnen de Gamekings community, schuilen veel mooie en interessante hobby's. De gemene deler blijven uiteraard games, maar men is ook vaak trots op waar zij over kunnen nerden. Een van de kijkers heeft een vraag over 3D-printen, met als doel om decoraties te maken voor modeltreinen. Daarnaast worden de hosts ook ondervraagd over hun kennis van persoonlijke hygiëne. Zullen ze deze kunnen antwoorden? Je weet het na het kijken van deze Brievenmaandag!

Part of a balanced breakfast. This week, we're taking a big first look at the story and gameplay in Mafia: The Old Country, Hangar 13's follow-up to the original Mafia trilogy. We've also got some comparisons and lingering thoughts on Mafia: Definitive Edition to go along with it. We also discuss some final thoughts on Lies of P and how a Soulslike with an easy mode really changes the game. Trust us, there's still plenty of difficulty to go around, even on easy. We also rattle through a bunch of new Gamescom announcements, ever so briefly, including Bubsy 4D, and we chat a little about the Kirby Air Riders Direct. Check out the show on BlueSky @MarkersOnTheMap.
Praise the Sun! The Nightlords have invaded the world of Elden Ring and it's up to you and your trusty co-op Nightfarers to stop them. The biggest roguelike game of 2025 so far, lauded developer FromSoftware's latest entry takes a stark departure from previous games in the Dark Souls series at a blistering pace. Featuring gigantic bird-man, big-hat sorceress, acrobatic bow boy, yelling drunken pirate, angry Sekiro dog-man, sassy child, French fencer, and John Nightreign himself toting a grappling hook and arm cannon, Elden Ring Nightreign drops you into a wild hybrid of Soulsbourne combat with bosses and enemies drawn from across the series.

Two very different games. One episode.In this week's Game Pass or Pass, we're taking a look at the upcoming dark action RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and the hands-on creativity of Spray Paint Simulator. They couldn't be further apart in tone, but both raise the question: does uniqueness automatically mean quality?We discuss:Wuchang: Fallen Feathers – How its Soulslike combat, plague-ridden setting, and folklore-driven narrative stack up against heavy hitters like Elden Ring and Lies of P. Does its style and atmosphere carry enough weight to stand on its own?Spray Paint Simulator – A completely different vibe, focusing on freedom of expression through tagging, murals, and customization. Is it a laid-back creative sandbox, or just another niche sim with limited staying power?The strange contrast of covering these two back-to-back, and what that says about the variety Game Pass offers.Which one we think has a stronger shot at holding player attention long-term.Do either of these titles have what it takes to be more than a curiosity on Game Pass? Or are they destined to fade into the backlog?
Zum gamescom-Abschluss versammeln sich Jonas, Micha, Felix und Matthias Rosenkranz von Game Two, um über Highlights und Enttäuschungen zu sprechen. Ganz vorne mit dabei: The Expanse, Star Trek: Voyager und Valor Mortis.
Kaye, Ben, Dennis, and Moxie talk about Nine Kings, Threshold, Voxelgram, and much more! The Grind: Dennis: Nine Kings. Elden Ring. Ben: Voxelgram. Moxie: Warhammer 40k: Darktide. Kaye: Threshold.

John Carpenter's game, Toxic Commandos, announced at GamesCom. Valor Mortis is a first person Soulslike from the Ghostrunner devs, is very French. Silksong announcement announced.
In this episode, Prof Noctis and Evan discuss the new game Wuchong: Fallen Feathers, a Souls-like action RPG set in a richly detailed Chinese-inspired world. They explore the game's mechanics, themes, and the unique challenges it presents to players. The conversation delves into the significance of the game's setting during the late Ming dynasty, the combat system, and the innovative madness mechanic that adds depth to the gameplay experience. The hosts emphasize the importance of understanding the game's lore and the rewarding nature of its difficulty, making it a compelling choice for fans of the genre.00:00- Welcome Back and Show Updates03:02- Introducing Wuchang: Fallen Feathers06:07- Understanding Souls-like Games08:57- Exploring the Setting and Themes11:53- Gameplay Mechanics and Combat15:02- Character and Story Development18:01- Level Design and Exploration20:56- Combat System and Skill Trees26:18- Weapon Customization and Combat Mechanics29:57- Difficulty and Fairness in Gameplay35:53- Madness Meter and Inner Demons37:54- Target Audience and Souls-like Experience44:41- Overall Impressions and Game Value#wuchangfallenfeathers #Soulslike #gaming #videogames #combat #difficulty #gamedesign #Chinesemythology #gamereview-------------------------------------------------New episodes of the ProfNoctis Weekly Show release every Monday! / @profnoctis Check out my Livestream! / profnoctis / profnoctis / profnoctis / profnoctis Join Prof's Classroom discussions: / discord Also connect with us on BlueSky now!Wade/Prof - https://bsky.app/profile/profnoctis.b...Evan - https://bsky.app/profile/whiskerss.bs...______________________________CLASS SUPPLIES and EXTRA CREDITAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Buy Wuchang: Fallen Feathers for PS5 : https://amzn.to/40InyyJ-------------------------------------------------Want to listen to the ProfNoctis Show on-the-go?

Support my work on Patreon (https://patreon.com/realdavejackson) I was admittedly very late to the King's Field and Shadow Tower bandwagons, energized by my love for FromSoftware's modern titles and a desire to dig into their history some more. However, I didn't anticipate loving those games so much that I wanted more like them, and that's where Kira LLC's Lunacid (2023) entered the fray. Lunacid is a fantastic game, leaning more on the exploration and vibes of those FromSoftware dungeon crawlers than the opaque RPG mechanics, capturing the spirit in a modern way. A true indie success- listen in to find out why.

Bell hat ordentlich in ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN reingebuttert und erzählt von ihren Eindrücken. Greg hat's auch gespielt. Wie sie es finden? Heute im GAME TALK erfahrt ihr's. Fabian hat derweil in das zuletzt durch Version 2.0 (hoffentlich) verbesserte LORDS OF THE FALLEN reingespielt. Außerdem hat er NVIDIAs neue GeForce Now-Lösung für das STEAM DECK getestet. Gregor hat sich als Pilot in F1 25 versucht, der Erfinder von KATAMARI DAMACY – Keita Takahashi – ist mit einem neuen Spiel am Start: TO A T. Ein Überblick über den kostenlosen SEA OF STARS-DLC namens THROES OF THE WATCHMAKER rundet diesen GAME TALK ab. Die SWITCH 2 haben wir leider noch nicht, aber dazu gibt's ab Donnerstag bei uns einiges an Content, darunter ein schönes TURNIER in MARIO KART WORLD.

This week, Kate, Alex, and Kapi talk about Soulslike games, where they first got into them, why they love them, and what "get good" really means in the context of Soulslikes.
What if the next great game studio doesn't come from the West? In this episode, Ben chats with Rob Wynne and Clark Kosene from Rising Tide Studios—an unannounced AAA-inspired indie team taking a bold leap: building a game that truly bridges Eastern and Western audiences. We dive deep into why the moat of Western AAA game development is disappearing fast—and how China, with more devs than the U.S. and EU combined, is already playing on equal footing. Rob and Clark share the untold story of how Rising Tide's founding team (ex-Activision and former Soulslike directors) aims to skip the slow forming-storming norm and go straight to "performing" with their next-gen isometric action roguelike. Why are Western games losing ground? Can a game truly appeal to both Western and Eastern markets? How do you create narrative depth without sacrificing gameplay flow? Why creativity thrives on constraints—and how Rising Tide harnessed it Clark also reflects on transitioning from screenwriting to games, and the team's surprising approach to embedding story: real-time commentary inspired by Chinese crosstalk comedy. Their goal? A game where narrative flows during gameplay—not in between. If you're interested in global game dev trends, narrative innovation, or the future of indie-AAA (triple-I) development, don't miss this conversation.

Currently Playing returns with a first ever live in person recording! Daniel talks to his friend Marcy (musician, teacher, world traveler) about the game Black Myth: Wukong which is based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West. We take a deep dive into the origins of the company behind the game, Game Science, and their connection to the story and Chinese culture before discussing some of the finer details of the gameplay and the challenging Soulslike subgenre. Since Marcy was able to record in person he joined Daniel for playing Streets of Rage 4 which made the classic "couch co-op" game feel more alive, and then Marcy challenged Daniel to play Transistor. We end the show a little unconventionally as well by playing some of Marcy's unreleased music as background and then the also unreleased single Monsters.0:00:00 - Welcome to the Show, Marcy!0:07:44 - What Are You Playing?

Alex and Luke Talk Elden Ring.In this episode, Alex and Luke finally tackle Elden Ring, FromSoftware's 2022 open-world epic that took the gaming world by storm. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with worldbuilding contributions from George R.R. Martin, Elden Ring expands the Soulsborne formula into a sprawling, unforgiving landscape—the Lands Between—where death is certain, but victory is oh so sweet. At the time of this recording, Elden Ring holds a Metacritic score of 96, solidifying its place as one of the highest-rated games of all time. According to HowLongToBeat, a standard playthrough takes around 60 hours (a complete and utter lie), while completionists can expect well over 134+ hours of brutal bosses, deep lore, and relentless challenge. Both Alex and Luke played on Xbox Series X, comparing notes on their builds, the moments that broke them, and the bosses that left them questioning their life choices. From first steps into Limgrave to taking down some of Elden Ring's most infamous enemies, they share their highs, lows, and what makes this game such a landmark title.

We did it. We made it through Black Myth: Wukong. This game had its ups and downs in the difficulty of its bosses (and there are plenty). But if you like Soulslike games and a challenge, you'll enjoy it.
