I like Soulslikes NOT made by FromSoftware. Those people don’t get The GitGud Apologist System(R) for any flaws, so they actually have to design well.

My favorite is Another Crab’s Treasure ; mostly because far from being a meme, it literally has the best story and character writing - both humorous and serious - of any Soulslike I’ve played. Fuck vague item description lore driven by fanfic.

    If you haven't played it, try hollow knight. It also doesn't do those things. It's relatively clear about the story that you need to know and why you're doing things.

    I’ve played Hollow Knight all the way through to the end, and I don’t think I remember anything about the story; just some generic “spreading rot” vibe.

    That’s fine for me because it’s not a high point of the game.
