RIP: All The Battle Royales That Failed, Flopped, And Died
1.4.2023

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...
