Got a Soulslike itch, any patient games?

FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can't run it.

Opening up Morrowind to try to replace Starfield or DOS 1 to replace Baldur's Gate 3

Try The Surge 1 and 2, they're definitely my favourite non-fromsoft soulslikes

Took me some getting used to, and the combat feels more clunky than souls.

Surge 1 was the first game I ever refunded on steam because I hated it so much. Gave it another go a few years later and ended up enjoying it though.

I hated surge 1 too. What made you turn around?

I think surge 2 is fine though.

Just leaned into the clunkiness of the combat.

First time I tried to make a fast build to compensate, but that didn’t help and just made it so I did no damage.

Second time I went for a regular build and just accepted it was slower paced than dark souls.
