| Machina said: I'm pretty sure I'll be the only one saying this: The Surge. The Souslike that made me first appreciate the genre and decide to give Dark Souls a second chance (and from there fell in love with the series). Without The Surge I probably never would have bothered playing what turned out to be some of my favourite games of all time. |
I remember The Surge, it was "oh, Soulslike, let's give it a try" moment...although previous attempt at that, Lords of the Fallen, ended up with me giving up after day or two (I felt the "levels" are uninspiring). Unfortunately, this was very similar - I've recognized very good mechanisms and gameplay, but I just couldn't get into setting at all in Surge. I guess, when it comes to 3D Soulslikes (since I seem to be a lot more tolerant when it comes to 2D Soulslikes), setting is one of the most important aspects for me - all in all, so far (didn't play Nioh though), I think only one that I actually finished is Mortal Shell.
