Lords of the Fallen and Lies of P Show it’s Time for Soulslikes to Step Out of FromSoftware’s Shadow

Despite some nagging performance issues depending on which platform players happen to be experiencing the title on, Lords of the Fallen‘s launch seems to have struck a chord with fans of Soulslikes as yet another worthwhile entry into the genre. Lords of the Fallen is releasing hot on the heels of September’s Lies of P at a time when the Soulslike genre is at the forefront of fans’ minds, with Lies of P being one of the best examples of a genre entry not developed by FromSoftware. Truthfully, though, the fact that the conversation surrounding both games only exists within the context of FromSoftware’s legacy highlights a major problem with the genre.
