The adjective “crushing” isn’t handed out lightly in the gaming world, but this Gothic no-man’s-land stole it with little resistance.ĭark Souls is governed by caution, risk, and reward-a rule to which the combat is no exception. I schoolyard-style dare you to try either of those tactics in Dark Souls. That or you’re that guy who repeats the same input like it’s going out of style. Whether you’re cleaving through hordes of demons as Death in Darksiders II or beating angels down as the sassy witch Bayonetta, you’ll spend most of your time tearing it up in a combo playground. Obviously, these claims exist for a reason. So bust out your gaming dictionaries and follow closely, because genre just got serious. I’ll let the improper gaming jargon slide (we have the term “hack and slash” for a reason, people-hence the swords), but I’ll gladly consign myself to an early doom in Lordran before letting that joke of a label stand unchallenged. Does anyone remember the PlayStation 3’s 2009 gem, Demon’s Souls? Would you believe that some critics actually equated it to God of War II? Here’s another imponderable: The game’s spiritual successor, FromSoftware’s Dark Souls, was often given the misnomer “beat-‘em-up.” Even now, after the recent release of the game’s first downloadable content, some reviewers stand by this claim.
