A good soulslike hits like no other game. From Hollow Knight to Lies of P, the combination of demanding combat and a haunting-yet-gorgeous game world is a winning formula.
But sometimes a game can struggle to find the balance, leaving me masochistically forging on while not quite having fun, like 2025's Hollow Knight Silksong. Lucky for me, then, that Beast of Reincarnation has taken another approach to deliver an action-RPG that challenges without feeling cruel.
