Shadows of the Past

Parry sickos have had no shortage of great Soulslikes in the past decade. From Wuchang to Nioh, here are some of our favorites.

The major new DLC, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Songs of the Past, will be shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live in late August, CDPR confirms.

With its gorgeous black and white, hand drawn art and heavily influenced 1980s tabletop RPG stylings, The Secret of Weepstone is the kind of game I would make... if I had any idea how to make games.

House of the Dragon: Season 3’s sixth episode depicts a moment that its director called “an instigating event for a lot of bad things” to come in the series. “That cut on Rhaenyra's finger becomes an instigating event for a lot of bad things,” director Loni Peristere declared in HBO’s Inside the Episode featurette.

Its bosses are every bit as demanding as those found in a Soulslike, but the journey between them isn't built around constant punishment. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a game that manages to challenge the player without becoming exhausting, allowing the game to shift naturally between moments of intense concentration and opportunities to simply enjoy stylish swordplay.
