I’m in what I would think is the final third or so of AI Limit, a well received anime-styled Soulslike from last year.
I’m having a hard time evaluating my time with it, because I find myself annoyed and frustrated numerous times when playing it, but this is the first Soulslike I’ve played in like 6 months and every time I am about to call the game bad I stop and reflect. Ambushes? Delayed attacks? Enemies with spammy attack patterns? Poison swamps? Time-wasting enemy placement? Idiotic platforming without a dedicated jump button? Aren’t these all genre staples of Souls games at this point? Am I slowly discovering that this genre isn’t for me anymore?
So I don’t know. By all accounts the game is a competent Soulslike. Maybe I just haven’t been sleeping well lately, and that’s why I’m getting tilted.

It’s funny, the modern FromSoft catalogue is probably my favourite set of games out there, and yet I’ve rarely ventured out into soulslikes from other devs. Even the really big ones like Lies of P I haven’t played through. It’s my favourite genre of games though so I really should try to get into them more, but I just always find myself replaying Elden Ring or Dark Souls or something.

Am I slowly discovering that this genre isn’t for me anymore? The day you quit playing soulslikes is gonna be a sad day for me (╥﹏╥).
