A souls-like must have a couple of the following:

1. video game where the difficulty can be incorporated into the player’s identity.

2. a conspiracy between monitor and controller manufacturers

3. Difficulty modes are forbidden.

4. has an easy mode called “magic build”

5. Story, narrative, and plot are all forbidden. The player can learn about the world, but cannot affect it.

6. Sekiro is the best one.

It’s not a soulslike unless it comes from a Souls region of gamedev, otherwise it’s just sparkling masochism

Soulslike is when roll to dodge

Big vampire milkers, so Resident Evil 8 is souslike, got it

Soulslike is when game like souls.

If game not like souls, game not soulslike
