Newest scary soulslike games

These recent soulslike entries pair careful stamina-based fighting with places that make you check every corner. In Valor Mortis you face diseased horrors up close with parries and dashes, while Withering Realms sends you through graveyards and decaying houses as a young ghost and her stitched protector. DEATH PENALTY leaves you weaker than the devils around you, so you sneak, scavenge and choose when to strike. Expect strict bosses, lost progress on death and constant dread.
