Preferably on the easier side, especially if 3D. I had a grand old time figuring out the openings in Deaths Door and am hopeful I can pick up Titan Souls soon. Is Another Crab’s Treasure as decent for a warm up to soulslikes?

What I liked about Death’s Door is that it was simple enough to figure out how to level up, maneuver, and time mechanics so that it didn’t slow me down from discovering more of the world or progressing the plot. At first it felt too difficult, but lasting longer through the hard fights was actually fun. I felt a short sense of accomplishment getting through each major fight. And when I felt like I was hitting a brick wall, I had a way to enhance stats. I’m currently stuck practicing the boss fight on the umbrella challenge.

I’ve watched videos of Dark Souls, and I can tell it’s not for me. In MHW, though it’s not a soulslike, I’m forever stuck on Deviljho - I’ve never been able to solo it, only carried. @.@ 'just mentioning it for skill reference.

    Bleak Sword DX

    While it’s not an exploration type of game, it has the “drop xp on death with one chance to recover” mechanic, and the combat feels quite similar to Souls games (dodge roll, parry etc). Worth checking out.
