Who the fuck actually think this?

>the dark souls of dark souls

It is a subgenre

There's nothing wrong with this crap. FPS were commonly called "doom-clones" after the success of that game back in the day and nobody sperged out over that. What the fuck happened to you people?

>The Dark Souls of our generation

>souls-ish
eh, this doesn't tick me off

>Game has literally no similar game mechanics to Souls
>The only reason people call it "Souls Like" is that it's hard

>It's not a bad game but it's a bad Souls game

>The Dark Souls of platformers
>It's Fallout with swords
>Really makes you FEEL like Batman

Except it's not. There's nothing really new that Dark Souls did. Well maybe the Souls mechanic but everything Souls did was done before.

>Really makes you FEEL like Batman

This one always annoyed me. How do you FEEL like Batman in a game where you literally PLAY as Batman? Like no shit you're gonna feel like you're playing as Batman, because you ARE playing as Batman.

That sounds familiar. Didnt a pretentious youtuber said that.

Is soulslike the new roguelike?

Where its just a blanket term used to describe a game that challenges the player remotely?

That does not matter
People repeat the formula so it is subgenre
