Stellar Blade
This is a cool action game that is definitely not a soulslike, though it does have a few of those elements (mostly just that you have camps that function as bonfires, and resting at them refills your flask and respawns most enemies). It honestly has more in common with something like DMC. It's also pervy in a way that strained my suspension of disbelief, but whatever. The combat feels good, it requires precision without being punishing, and it has the most satisfying parry I think I've ever experienced. All in all, I would definitely recommend it if you like character action games. There is a massive difficulty spike at the end, but aside from that I had fun throughout.
Grade: B+
