I just beat my first "Soulslite" — It was challenging but extremely satisfying thanks to the multiplier combat system, platforming, and rewarding exploration

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first booted up Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn on my Xbox Series X and started a game in Normal mode. You see, I've never really been interested in the Soulslike genre. Not even Elden Ring could tempt me, despite many friends saying it was one of the more approachable Soulslikes. But knowing that Flintlock was technically a "Soulslite" made me curious and want to check out its gameplay for myself.
