I haven’t played any soulslikes recently but am thinking of playing some. Don’t know which. Kinda not feeling lately.

Between console exclusives, like Demon Is Souls™ or 2 Blood 2 Borne, or general lack of systems to play these games on, have you ever bought an entire system for one specific soulslike? Back when the PS5 launched, I’ve heard of many a fan who bought the console for Demon’s Souls alone. It is kind of a system seller - same goes for Bloodborne. Maybe a Switch 2 to finally play Lies of P on? Or an Xbox 360 for the original Dark Souls back when it launched?

Keen on hearing your experiences?

      I’ve never touched Wukong before, and I likely won’t, but I’m sorry to hear that it’s not meeting your expectations. But it kinda makes sense that the bosses aren’t as challenging as it’s not exactly meant to be a soulslike but more of a character action game, right? It’s got some elements of a soulslike but not enough to actually be one is what I’d heard.

      That’s so nice! Although small caveat: Demon’s Souls Remake is a PS5 exclusive. So unless you somehow found a way to play the PS3 version on the PS4, you probably didn’t play it on the console. Maybe PlayStation Now or something?

          That makes more sense then :)

          Oh yea. I’m thinking about buying a used PS5 just to jailbreak it and use it to play virtually anything I’ll set mind to. The emulators running on it aren’t as mature yet, like the Xbox (360) emulator for example, but it won’t take long for them to get to the needed level. It’ll be the emulation console
