DigitallyDownloaded.net Reviews Thymesia On PlayStation 5

Review: Thymesia (Sony PlayStation 5)

August 16, 2022
Reviews/Sony PlayStation 5/Souls Clone/Team 17/Uncategorized

Releasing a “Soulslike” in the same year as Elden Ring is, I would argue, unwise. You’re never going to come off well in that comparison and it’s only going to result in your game being judged more harshly than it deserves to be. In that context, Thymesia really should have…

And the latest crack at a Dark Souls clone is…

Indie/Mortal Shell/News/PC/PlayStation 4/Souls Clone/trailer/Trailers/Xbox One

News by Matt S. Everyone wants to be the developer behind the “next Dark Souls.” It’s not a genre I think that smaller teams should actually work on – whether it’s level design, narrative, combat or visuals, the Souls-like genre requires a mastery that is very difficult to get right.…

Review: Nioh 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 10, 2020
action game/JRPG/Koei Tecmo/Nioh/Nioh 2/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Souls Clone

Review by Matt S. Koei Tecmo’s Nioh was a breakthrough in so many ways. It represented the first time that a developer outside of FromSoftware had figured out the X-factor that made FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Bloodborne such incredible experiences. Koei also managed to do so while keeping a firm…

Review: Decay of Logos (Nintendo Switch)

Amplify Creations/Decay of Logos/JRPG/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Souls Clone/Switch Review

Review by Matt S.  Setting out to make Dark Zelda: Breath of the Souls, and then throwing a dash of Princess Mononoke in there, is certainly a brave and bold move. Portugese-based developer, Amplify Creations, is probably better known within the industry than it is within the gaming community, as…

Video by Matt S. Koei Tecmo and Sony have released a “Beta” demo of Nioh onto the PlayStation store for testing on PS4. I’ve played a couple of hours of it and come away so incredibly impressed. This game is, already, a marked step up from the original, and has…

Review: Code Vein (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 1, 2019
action RPG/Bandai Namco/Code Vein/dark fantasy/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Souls Clone/vampires

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Code Vein has been a long time in coming. Developed by Bandai Namco, the company decided it was time to make its own Soulsborne instead of simply publishing yet another one. It’s one of the first anime-styled Soulsbornes, and through it we see just how far…

Review: The Surge 2 (Microsoft Xbox One)

September 30, 2019
Deck 13/Deck13/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/RPG/Souls Clone/The Surge/The Surge 2/Xbox One review

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Following in the steps of The Surge, The Surge 2 continues Deck13’s macabre and technological Soulsborne with a much larger scale than the first. Trapped in a quarantined city where people have gone mad and are ripping each other apart, you’ll have to find a way…

Video by Pierre-Yves L. Remnant is a “Soulsborne”, but one with some significant differences to any of the other efforts in this “mini-genre” that we’ve seen previously. In this video, Pierre-Yves gives you a good look at what to expect from that game, and why it hooked him in good.…

action/Gunfire Games/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Remnant: From the Ashes/Reviews/Souls Clone

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Remnant: From the Ashes is one of those titles that will probably wind up being somewhat of a sleeper hit. Designed by Gunfire Games, the developers behind THQ Nordic’s Darksiders 3, you’ll be taking control of an unnamed person as they traverse the wasteland of Earth…

Video by Pierre-Yves L. DDNet contributor, Pierre-Yves, had the opportunity to get some good time in with a preview build of the latest effort to bring the Soulsborne formula to dark sci-fi, with The Surge 2. Is it all that? Well… it’s certainly off to a good start! Stay tuned…
