11.4.2023
Elden Ring modders just can’t stop tampering with FromSoftware’s latest Soulslike, adding all kinds of crazy things from jets and tanks to flying brooms and pocket monsters. While The Lands Between is already an expansive location to die in, prolific Souls modder Dropoff has added a familiar...
Every FromSoftware Soulslike Ranked From Worst To Best
31.3.2023
I usually think “Soulslike” is a loaded term; FromSoftware’s legendarily grim and difficult 2011 role-playing game Dark Souls inspired a crowd of similarly grim, difficult games, but I don’t think any of those imitators can compare to the regal original. Except, maybe, FromSoftware’s other games...
Elden Ring Director Turns To Escape From Tarkov For Inspiration
1.3.2023
It seems that Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki and I share an affinity for the same kind of game: Extraction shooters. (I always knew he had good taste). In a recent interview, the award-winning director said that he was a fan of none other than Escape From Tarkov and, more importantly, that...

Spend any time on the internet—whether Reddit, Twitter, or YouTube—and you’ve likely seen some streamer doing some absurd-ass playthrough of a Soulsborne game (probably Elden Ring). Whether it’s beating Margit with a harp or two Malenias simultaneously (one with a dance pad), there are some wild...

Game Awards Photoshops Bill Clinton Kid Out Of Elden Ring Speech
22.12.2022
The 2022 Game Awards ended with a random kid sneaking up on stage and muttering nonsense about “reformed Rabbi Bill Clinton.” The 2022 Game Awards is now, understandably, trying to pretend that never happened, blurring the kid out of a picture celebrating Elden Ring developer FromSoftware’s second...

300 Tries Later, A Twitch Streamer Bodied 7 Souls Games Completely Unscathed
17.11.2022
So, there’s this thing in the FromSoftware community called the “God Run.” It’s a challenge run where you play through the studio’s various Soulsborne games without getting hit. It’s difficult, but not impossible. Two of them have been completed by other streamers already. And now, a third God...

From Demon’s Souls To Elden Ring: The 9 Scariest FromSoftware Bosses
13.10.2022

Elden Ring One-Shot Boss Kills Show Faith Builds Are Strong AF
12.8.2022
Elden Ring’s faith stat is pretty flexible to build around, particularly because developer FromSoftware baked so many incantations and spells into the game. Still, it tends to see very little use at high levels, as YouTuber Your Average Gamer put it in an email to Kotaku Dot Com, folks claim it’s...
