That does look pretty cool, doesn’t necessarily need to be a souls like

Kinda reminds me of risk of rain visually

They look a lot like regular dark souls to me. The combat looks good but I think part of what I think of when I say flashy is abilities other than just hitting things with a weapon, movement abilities, magic that isn’t just standing back and pelting something, dodges that teleport you behind the enemy etc

I’ve got code vein, got a fair way through it before my co op buddy bailed and then I didn’t pick it back up again

It is a little on the cartooney side as you say but it is cool looking

I’ve tried devil may cry 5 and I think the first one, neither really got me. I should probably try 5 again because I’ve only played one of the characters though

Just didn’t get on with the whole disposable mechanical arm thing, didn’t like that my abilities kept changing up on me out of my control

Furi looks like exactly my kind of game. I will have to to give it a go, thank you for the suggestion

Titan souls looks awesome and I may well give that a try, not sure it scratches the same itch as 3d souls likes though

I have tried out kena, it never really hooked me for some reason. Cool looking game, I like the art style

I think part of it was it felt very soft and family friendly, as you say it’s a lot like a Pixar movie

I think that’s better than how other companies handle game sequels though Just look at the state of the FIFA franchise

Reminds me of my monopoly strategy
