    Funnily enough, I couldn’t get into the souls likes until now. The need to memorize boss patterns doesn’t appeal to me me

      have you considered playing with the approach that soulslikes are really rhythm games and boss battles are dance offs (to death)?

      this perspective allowed me to enjoy soulslikes more

        The problem is that this doesn’t take a away the memorization requirement and I just don’t have the time for that. Also having to walk to the boss and grind through all the minions in-between was also very annoying.

          that’s fair, i think i enjoyed Elden Ring the most of all soulslikes because if you can’t be asked to memorise a specific boss you can just go somewhere and come back strong enough to two hit the one that gave you trouble

            Yea, that would be OK if I also didn’t dislike the concept of “levels” and “winning” by over-leveling or grinding 😁
