I’ve been sick for the past week, so gaming was kinda tough for me in general. Been playing League, as always, and have started Darkwood today (@[email protected]). I like it so far, but it’s a very different game from what I expected it to be.
My favourite aesthetic in a soulslike definitely goes to Sekiro. I like its use of colour, I’m a sucker for Japan and its culture, and I think it’s definitely the best-looking FromSoft game from a visual-fidelity point of view (next to Elden Ring, maybe). Fountainhead Palace might just be my favourite area in any soulslike I’ve played.
What about you?
Love all the Fromsoft aesthetics but Liurnia of the Lakes is the pinnacle for me. The setup and the reveal is just so perfect.
More Nightreign for me. Hundreds of hours in and I still can’t get enough.
That first moment that you see Liurnia after finishing Stormveil is one of my favourite reveals in any game full stop. It’s so well done, especially after you’ve been fighting through the close confines of Stormveil for so long
Siofra remains my favourite ER landscape, though. God damn it’s so cool. I get distracted every time and then smacked in the face by the ancestral followers with their railgun bows
I got there super early in my playthrough. I turned around since I rightly assumed it’s a later area, but with just the view in my mind, I always had something to look forward to.
The whole underground is such a marvelous experience. But Siofra especially blew me away the first time. I always take the teleporter at the Belfries just to get a look from a different perspective.
I remember stopping at the academy gate town grace, at night, during the golden leaf bonus rune weather event, and was just blown away about how pretty everything was.
