Don’t you just wish you could challenge someone to a fair battle one-on-one though?
Need a new challenge?
Let’s dive into 5 of the best, ranked Soulslike games for PS5.
These factions let you invade, be invaded, help others and so on.
Looking for a new game to try that scratches the same itch as Dark Souls or Elden Ring?
You do need to randomly invade, but these duels become more focused than manic once they begin.
In that same vein, the multiplayer operates much like the Souls games that inspired it.
FromSoftware may have the best Souls games, but which are the best of the best?
It gives everyone a relatively even playing field, and works fast since it has an actual matchmaking queue.
It also added a rather controversial gear system that allows some extreme min-maxing.
This can be great for the PvE experience, though perhaps not so for the PvP one.
In the original Nioh, PvP had two dedicated modes.
You could use your actual gear values, letting the efforts of your grinding really show.
This was, as you might expect, severely unbalanced.
There was a second mode to counter this, letting you choose from pre-built kits and evening out stats.
Due to the difficulty of balancing the PvP mode didn’t return in Nioh 2.
Among the many changes it has, its increased focus on multiplayer is the most notable.
Covenants return, though with such an absurd diversity that it’s almost comedic.
If you desire difficult then take a look at these soulslike games we enjoyed this year.
