Void Sols
Everybody has a take on the soulslike genre, but Void Sols’ has to be one of the most unique I’ve seen yet. It’s essentially a minimalist Souls game that distills the tough-as-nails combat and navigation of the genre into a top-down adventure in which the protagonist and every enemy are reduced to basic shapes. While the presentation may throw you off, the core gameplay hews closely to the core pillars of the genre, so you’ll still need to memorize enemy patterns, navigate twisty environments, and level up your stats while trying not to die. So far, Void Sols just proves how mechanically sound the soulslike genre is, regardless of visual presentation.
