Just like Dark Souls, Hollow Knight lures you in with its combat system and atmosphere only to make you fall in love with its imaginative story that will tug at your heartstrings once you get a full grasp at what’s really happening. This only speaks to just how good of a game Hollow Knight is, with its insect-filled kingdom setting that plays host to an army of cleverly designed insects that can and will kill you if you give them the chance. The same thing happened in 2018 when it launched on other platforms. Hollow Knight first launched on the PC in 2017 and was a strong contender for the Game of the Year award from multiple publications. It uses familiar Dark Souls mechanics like a punishingly difficult but with a rewarding combat system, as well as a “show, don’t tell” approach to storytelling, to immerse players in a world that’s quite unlike any other. Hollow KnightĬherry Games’ bug-sized (pun intended) Metroidvania platformer proudly wears its inspirations on its sleeve. Ultimately, what sets The Surge apart from other soulslike games is that it represents a nice change of pace. Not to mention, there’s a sequel too that’s better in every way, just in case you ended up loving the first game. The execution isn’t as tight and smooth as Dark Souls, but it works for the most part. You have to admit, the premise is a nice hook and the gameplay isn’t half-bad.
The game puts players in the role of a paraplegic named Warren, who, thanks to a botched exoskeleton experiment, finds himself in control of an upgradable and customizable exoskeleton but with the inevitable task of having to fight for his life against evil machines and other bloodthirsty fellow exoskeleton users. The Surge is set in a fictional future where robots and drones have pretty much taken over the workforce. The result is a soulslike game that isn’t just difficult for the sake of it. Think of Dark Souls but in space and you’ve got The Surge.ĭeck13’s latest and arguably most popular games series, The Surge, took everything that the developers learned from 2014’s largely forgettable Lords of the Fallen and gave it a huge setting overhaul. All games here take a hefty amount of inspiration from FromSoftware but weren’t made by the studio. So, even if Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Bloodborne are shoo-ins, you won’t find such games here. Just a disclaimer, we removed all FromSoftware titles from our list. And since all of these games are available on Steam, make sure to get some Steam Wallet Codes! To celebrate the success of this recently-birthed sub-genre, we’ve rounded up our top 10 soulslike games ever released.
