Rogue-Likes aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but they are a dominating genre thanks to the popularity of Dark Souls frontrunners From Software. While the genre has been around much longer than this it didn’t gain as much popularity until Demons Souls released on the PS3.

Lies of P

Lies of P might take a lot of pages and comparisons from Bloodborne, but it is its own thing. A fantastic art direction, fun combat, and an overall surprise hit in the already over saturated genre of games trying to topple From Software’s efforts for that next golden title.
