5 Of The Best Souls-Borne Bosses
I haven’t always been a fan of the Souls-Borne games, in fact the first time I played one (Dark Souls 1) I bounced right off it. Maybe it was the way the game introduced combat, maybe it was the controls or (and I think this is the main reason) it’s because I took a right and ended up in skeletal buggery hell. As it turns out, this area was a late game area and I was supposed to go left, but after...[Read More]
Elden Ring
It would be an understatement to say that Elden Ring was hyped up more than a coked chimp on the edge with nothing to lose, with even the most hardcore Soulsborne veterans even daring to consume any and all content relating to the gameplay, plot and character creation at risk of spoiling something, due to their starvation and hunger for information. It was definitely a long time coming, long enoug...[Read More]
Demon Souls: Remake
As a veteran of the Soulsborne games, a proud gamer and stubborn bastard, I had to buy Demon’s Souls and get stuck into it, I just had to. Ignoring the fact that the PS5 was released and I wanted a PS5 game to go with it, besides the other 3 I bought; I also wanted a fresh taste of a Souls game. You see, Dark Souls was my first entry into the franchise, so for me this isn’t just a lick of paint an...[Read More]
Nioh 2: The Complete Edition
My hands were aching, I’d been playing for a couple of hours when I (finally) killed the first boss I’d come across, a giant horse headed beast, when the realisation hit me that this was just the tutorial zone, an event punctuated by the game flashing a late logo screen at me up post-fight. (Oh Fuck Yooooouu!) The game is Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition on Steam (released 5t...[Read More]
Mortal Shell
Ever since FromSoftware created the beloved Soulsborne series there have been many imitators, determined to replicate their success. And while some have been better than others, none have truly captured what made the Soulsborne games so great. But with the Dark Souls series wrapped up and no sign of a Bloodborne sequel, those of us hungry for another bollock buster of a video game are forced to lo...[Read More]
Nioh 2 (Beta)
Before we begin I need to confess something; I never actually played the first game, at all. I am a fresh-faced noob to this series so my experiences here are very new. However, I think that it works in my favour because I can then learn all the controls from scratch and get a fresh perspective of the gameplay without being swayed from any influence from the first game. The first thing I got to do...[Read More]
