Within the past decade, one style of game that has become immensely popular is the Soulsborne subgenre. These are video games that are modeled heavily on releases like Dark Souls or Bloodborne, and most recently, Elden Ring, which was made by FromSoftware. Since their explosion in popularity, other companies have taken inspiration from the grueling, difficult experiences that look and play very similar to Dark Souls, and have released new titles that cater to the same audience. Unfortunately, it’s a genre that hasn’t always connected on a deep and fun level with me, especially with how incredibly difficult these games can be to play. Most Soulsborne fans don’t always understand that not everybody wants to be beaten down harshly when they sit down to play video games, and skill has nothing to do with it. One can only endure the repetition of seeing “You Died” and replaying a large portion of gameplay only so many times before it becomes no fun anymore.
