So is this soulslike or hack'n'slash?

[lastbreath]

I wasn't interested in this game because I thought it would be another incarnation of endless soulslikes. But after watching some walkthroughs it seems to me the game is closer to slashing genre. Am I right?

I'd say soulslike->hack n' slash is more of a sliding scale than a binary, but this game seems to be more on the hack n' slash end of things.

Wondering the same. I despise souls. I've been waiting for a game with fun combat like Darksiders for a long time. Is this for me?

No. Hard no. I went into this thinking it wasn't a soulsborne and it's just a play on the concept. The reviewers deceived me very hard on this one.

Bummer.
I hope Xbox adds it to Gamepass some day.

I'm on Darksiders side too. Hope this soulslike trend will die soon, literally every melee combat game is soulslike, I'm tired to death of it

Not a Souls at all. It's a traditional action game.
The game starts easy and goes on high difficulty.

From the pov of a soulsgame player.... this is not a soulsgame

From the perspective of a conventional action/rpg player... this is a soulsgame.

It's definitely not as hard
But I still died over 15 times fighting a tiger. So it has soulsvibe to it.

I wouldn't call it a hack and slash.

Combat is more soulslike, however IMO it has a lower skill floor. Doesn't feel quite as immediately punishing of bad play and is more narrative-driven.

Feels like a blend of God of war(2018), souls, and Jedi: fallen order on medium difficulty.

definetly soulslike. you have your estus flakon like heal mechanic, bonfires where you spawn (a ton because you will die a lot), enemies and bosses that deal 1/4 or 1/3 of your health bar, clunky dodge roll and as an addional handicap and frustration factor no parry and block mechanic. this is soulslike and they lied to me. thats why I refund after 4 hours. you get 2 spells which you can use...so to speak a stun and parry button on a very long cooldown and manacost. I think this combat is horrible. I expect a darksider 2 experience but nope we got another trashgame for the soulslike genre that I learned to despise. after DS 1 to 3 and sekiro (and lords of the trashy fallen) I learned that soulsgame tend to simulate big content but if you substract the time you need to learn bosses from your gametime then you would be suprised how much time you spent frustrated and wasted because a dev forces you to play how they want you to play...its like you have to play devil may cry only in S rank. if you have a A rank you have to start the mission again, well blame you gamer! """GIT GUT""" as the kids tend to say. dont listen to them. soulslike is a pile of wasting precious time. and to die a lot isnt fun a whole (except you are a masochist or you like to play in perfection over and over again).

Both, its more like god of war with soulslike enemies and mechanics.
Its too easy for the most part, some elite fights are harder than bosses.
The game is challenging on new game plus.
I suspect soulslike fans will finish the game very fast
