A true solo ninja experience

Honestly I'm surprised from software remembers how to make a game that isn't a Souls game
---

I'm not entirely sure what part of that convinces you it's not a souls game.
---

I mean it didn't look like one in the trailer either
---

No online is really disappointing actually

I've played through both the Souls games and Bloodborne with one friend (who got me into Souls in the first place) and was looking forward to doing the same here

I would bet money most players either play offline or use whatever no-invade option exists in each game. A very small group of players wants to pvp.

I get youre talking about co-op but I think co-op is trash personally.

It still looks similar to the Souls combat at the very least, with some new options like the grappling hook, which looks sweet. Honestly no online is a bummer, but I can't complain that they're branching out and experimenting a little after 5 Soulsbourne games.

Also no stats/classes doesn't matter at all unless there's absolutely no customization whatsoever. Bloodborne also didn't have classes but there was plenty of variety.

Technically no souls game has ever had classes. Its all stat/skill selection and gear based.

Removing stats and exp is a good experiment.

From what I read, there's no customization at all.

The only customization will be in which add-ons we use in our left hand.

I'm mostly concerned about replayability.
---

Lack of souls-style progression is what concerns me. I'm sure it will be great but man that souls system is copied so much by other games for a reason.
---

my hype level for this game was pretty low already, but this kind of news makes me way less interested on top of that.

According to VaatiVidya, Miyazaki said that they removed all the RPG and co-op elements to focus purely on the combat and exploration, so hopefully it's good combat and exploration. Though it's apparently going back to the same world design the original Dark Souls had, which is probably the greatest news ever!
