Popular soulslike games

Tough boss fights where patience matters shape these popular soulslike games. In Lies of P you work through a ruined city with weapons you can rebuild for each encounter, while The First Berserker: Khazan asks you to read attack patterns and time your blocks before answering. Hollow Knight: Silksong carries the same idea into fast exploration with needle strikes and traps, so you keep learning moves, losing progress on death and trying again.
