  • I love Fromsoft games, but I’ve always thought that people kind of have horse blinders on when evaluating them as a whole.

    What I think sets them apart:

    • the art
    • the setting and vibe
    • melee combat controls

    What I think they severely lack:

    • sometimes it feels like I have to google nearly everything in these games because they never explain mechanics/items/quests properly. Most people would argue that’s part of the charm, but I don’t think it’s executed well at all.
    • Basic combat is generally very fluid, but there are things that are just straight trash, such as ranged weapons. I just won’t use those weapons for anything other than pulling mobs away from others
    • the story is just so abstract sometimes that I rarely know etc is going on
    • co-op multiplayer sucks. It really says something when a player-created mod works better than a system that’s been in multiple games
