After playing upcoming soulslike Wuchang: Fallen Feathers for four hours at a behind-closed-doors preview event in London recently, I’m left genuinely surprised at how much it grew on me over time. While the first hour smacked of that ‘yep, it’s another one of these’ feeling, its winding level design and combat system did eventually open up into a unique and satisfying experience.
Games in the subgenre are a dime a dozen these days, with titles like Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen, Black Myth: Wukong, and the upcoming Nioh 3 all vying to be the next best soulslike game to varying degrees of success.
