I wish developers took genre as gameplay elements and not entirely mimicing settings and tone and themes along with the gameplay. Lots of people were hoping AC6 could be a soulslike in a different setting, because no ones doing it.
I was kinda hoping for this too as much as I like ac as ac itself. I don't think the issue is this new genre as much as everyone confining it to dark fantasy
I mean, not really? I can count on one hand the amount of decent souls likes, and half of those are 2d sidescrolling titles, what's left? Liies of p, remnant maybe, and the surge? Maybe nioh if you really stretch the definition of what a souls like is. If anything I want MORE soulslikes
