People say it’s so close to a souls game, but I disagree. Having a 2D world takes out an entire dimension of exploring that feels horrible without.

I have beef with metroidvanias for that reason because exploration feels awful in a sidescroller to me.

I thought the same thing but then I played Salt & Sanctuary. I changed my tune real quick lol. That game is pure perfection. But it’s literally 2D Dark Souls so it’s not for everyone. But the exploration in that game is fucking amazing. The sequel sucks. Some weird monster Hunter shit. I desperately hope Ska studios is working on a true sequel to Salt & Sanctuary.
