All that being said, do you consider Black Myth: Wukong a Souls-like? 🤔 And did you really beat the game if you used the Pluck of Many??? (THIS IS A JOKE MAKING FUN OF ELITISTS! PLEASE DON'T START POLICING THIS GAME TOO 🙇🏾)

I always had the mindset of "soulslike can be a mix of pseudo rougelite meats monsterhunter but how much the bar tends to go in one direction is very debatable which is good for varaiaty"

To me, Black Myth Wukong is a more grounded character action game. It is grounded in a way that the action mostly stays on the ground, unlike games like DMC, original God of War and Bayonetta.

actually, I think the vagueness of "souls-like" is perfect.

The only think I can think of is to call this genre "God of souls" (what happens when you combine aspects of GoW and Dark Souls)

BMW is indeed a Souls like. It has a vast majority of it's mechanics similar to Souls. I frame dodges, grinding mobs for xp, despawning minibosses, stamina health and mana bar, gear and weapon upgrades, an estus flask / gourd refilling on death or checkpoint, enemies also respawning on death or checkpoint. Basic attack combo and heavy charged attacks. The weight of percentages being the same define Souls likes, and BMW does have a majority of similarities

One thing I remember about all soulslikes is that you literally buy your way to be stronger

Personally, what makes soul-like games "souls-like" comes to a few ways

Does death have consequences? Does souls factor in the game?

For one souls like game, Nioh and it's sequel, Nioh 2, Amrita is just used for experience but it also builds your Amrita gauge for your awakened weapon or Yokai form, your rage mode, But death makes you lose your spirit, and they give you perks like extra damage in a stance, or increase damage based on your gauge

The sequel adds Soul cores, which are like Souls in the castlevania sorrow games, but you need to reach your checkpoint [shrines] to equip them, and dying mean you lose the core

While I haven't played any of the actual Souls games and only souls like I have is Hollow Knight but still from what I have seen / heard of the games, I personally would add "Dark fantasy" as requirement for to be counted as Souls-like. But thats just me and my two cents given the lack of expirience with the series.

I cant believe how huge this debate is. I think the debate on whether or not it should be considered a souls like game is bigger than the hype surrounding the game itself. Id like to find out if it is or not bcuz i think the losing everything every time u die is dumb, like a souls game, but ive beaten the whole god of war series at least 3 times & ghost of tsushima twice. I thoroughly enjoyed both series. I also really enjoyed playin jedi: fallen order. I cannot play souls games for the life of me, no progression whatsoever, making the games pointless to play. Huge waste of time, even for sum1 who has all the time in the world. However, if i can actually play it & eventually get sumwhere with it, itll be worth every minute.

SUN WUKONG is more like God of war, but little more boss fights, in my opinion.

Stop gatekeeping. It's a soulslike, you're trying to nitpick aspects of gameplay and monster Hunter is a poor comparison. We get you like dark souls but realistically there's no genre to put it in other than soulslike

It's more God Of War/Dante's Inferno Like
