Souls-Like

You’re a Reaper, a crow searching for souls to power the whole soul-taking operation in his souls-like with a sense of humor.

Aegis, a living automaton, is on a quest to free France from Mad King Louis XVI’s tyranny in this dark souls-like game set during the French Revolution.

I’ve finished the main plot to Elden Ring, and gotten one of the six endings. Now it’s time to go back and get my revenge on all the things I didn’t get to along the way. Oh yeah, Millicent is back! Non-Elden Ringers won’t know Millicent. Hers is one of the longest quests in the game. It begins with you finding her suffering from the Scarlet Rot and missing an arm.

Watching my boyfriend play Elden Ring, I was so very excited to get a chance to play it for myself, once he was done with it.

Doesn’t make much sense to buy another copy when I can just use his when he’s done, but I wanted to play a Souls-like and I didn’t much like Bloodborne (which I had for free). Enter Salt & Sanctuary, a 2D souls-like for those who think a third dimension is just showing off. ...
