Preferably on the easier side, especially if 3D. I had a grand old time figuring out the openings in Deaths Door and am hopeful I can pick up Titan Souls soon. Is Another Crab’s Treasure as decent for a warm up to soulslikes?

What I liked about Death’s Door is that it was simple enough to figure out how to level up, maneuver, and time mechanics so that it didn’t slow me down from discovering more of the world or progressing the plot. At first it felt too difficult, but lasting longer through the hard fights was actually fun. I felt a short sense of accomplishment getting through each major fight. And when I felt like I was hitting a brick wall, I had a way to enhance stats. I’m currently stuck practicing the boss fight on the umbrella challenge.

I’ve watched videos of Dark Souls, and I can tell it’s not for me. In MHW, though it’s not a soulslike, I’m forever stuck on Deviljho - I’ve never been able to solo it, only carried. @.@ 'just mentioning it for skill reference.

    Hollow Knight for real. Some of the best game art and atmosphere I’ve ever seen, and it can get pretty challenging, but it never stops being fun.

      Second that. The exploration can sometimes get a little frustrating, from my experience, if you’re not quite sure where to go next. Usually, you’ll make a mental note of roadblocks on your way and remember when you receive a new upgrade to further progress. The music is fantastic, though, as is the art direction, the fluidity of the gameplay and so much more

        That game is a work of art with some good lore.

        As far as traveling, the PC wemod turns the game into a version of flappy birds with unlimited jumps. Really speed it up the game when I got tired of platforming and just wanted to get to a location.

          Wait are sections rebuilt to accommodate that change in architecture or is that like a fast-travel screen?

            No it is a cheat. You basically fly by all the platforming by keep pressing jump which in a platforming game is defeating the purposed but I Hate platforming and just want to get to my location.
