Eldest Souls (PC)

Last year I played a terrible top-down pixelized soulsclone called Morbid. That game had everything I wanted in a 2d Soulsclone but the execution and certain useless mechanics left a droll taste in my mouth. Does this game hold up? Well. It did everything Morbid did wrong. Then, it lacked the bones to do anything else like I dunno tell a story. It's a boss rush game and I'm not gonna fault it for that but when you beat it the 2nd time it leaves this weird taste in my mouth and it normally expects you to do it 4 times.

The greatest strengths of this game were what it showcased: The boss fights which in turn unlocked skill points and a unique item that can be slotted 5 different ways so theorycrafting is the name of the game. Apart from that, the game attempts to do by the numbers Souls ambiance but without any curiosities save for about 5 pieces of paper to peruse it just feels like its a Souls plot as an excuse for the boss fights.

Still. Better than the last close I played (Hellpoint) so there is that. Maybe its finally time for me to get in on Nioh 2...
