![]() We're obviously leaving out the Dark Souls series itself. If it helps, think of them not as “soulslikes” but as curious offspring you might like if you enjoyed big daddy souls. I just want to pick a few of the wondrous horrors off the ground and put ‘em in a big terrarium with reinforced glass, so you can appreciate them. I’m not here to define the prerequisites of the genre or discuss whether it should even exist. But stoop low to appreciate these little monsters, and among them you’ll find some very good games about dying. Before you know it, a swarm of games like Dark Souls with sparse checkpoints and lethal attacks are scuttling around, leaving slime trails and biting your ankles for surprisingly massive damage. Along comes a giant like Dark Souls that everybody won’t stop bleating about and soon it has copycats. Disgusting, I know, but this is how genres are made.
