Darksiders 3 marked Gunfire Games' early attempt at incorporating soulslike elements , which they later refined in the Remnant series. As such, it's no surprise that Darksiders 3 feels like a transitional Game science — caught between the action roots of the Darksiders series and some distinct soulslike elements, which at times can feel forced and unnecessary. However, the game's premise, where players hunt down the Seven Deadly Sins as Fury, lends itself to some truly memorable boss encount

When you're up close, the Yellow Wind Sage uses several melee combos. His most commonly used combo is a single horizontal swing, followed by a back-and-forth double swing, and then an overhead slam that sends out spikes in a line ahead of him. Much like when he uses the overhead slam after firing a wind blade, you can dodge to the side and counterattack while he recovers from the final slam. Stay mobile and dodge the combo until he performs the slam, giving you the perfect opening to counterattack. He will also perform a two-step attack where he stabs his staff into the ground, then jumps and performs a stomping attack. Dodge as he stabs down and again as he stomps, then get in a few hits if you're feeling confident.

You can kill the pilgrims inside the temple with one hit. Killing them will also heal you, so it's a good strategy to shift your focus from the boss to start killing the pilgrims. However, you’ll have to keep your distance from Elder Jinchi as he’ll be attacking you alongside the pilgrims.

Yin Tiger has a well-characterised personality in his dialogue, and this is thanks to the voice work of James Alexander. Alexander is also behind five of the playable characters in Eiyuden Chronicles, but if you're both a Horizon and VR fan, you'll likely have heard him as the protagonist's escort Kavad in Horizon Call of the Mounta

While we don't get to hear a lot from our protagonist, The Destined One, a character that we meet in Chapter 3 that quickly becomes a surrogate voice for our main character, is Zhu Bajie. He'll spend multiple sections of the game tagging along, aiding in fights, and quipping all the

After defeating him, you’ll be able to absorb the boss’s spirit using your newly acquired Blessed Gourd. This allows you to transform into a frog and use its tongue swipe to deal heavy damage to multiple enemies.

Inside, speak with the Horse Guai NPC and listen to his dialogue. Do not attack him, as he poses no threat to you. After exhausting all dialogue options, interact with the meditation spot located in the middle of the room. This is the second meditation spot in the Black Wind Mountain area.

Our titular character Sun Wukong, while not the character you spend the majority of the game playing as (that honour goes to our largely silent protagonist The Destined One), we still get to hear plenty of his voice throughout different cutsce

Another melee attack the Yellow Wind Sage can use is a combo that starts by drawing his staff back, causing the bottom of it to glow. He will then swing it forward, before performing a forward stomp, and then finish with a wide swing. This attack is pretty easy to avoid by dodging around to his side and making sure you aren't in front of him.

This attack is easy to avoid because of the small range. You can simply move out of the range or dodge away from the boss, but you’ll have to be wary and not get caught by this attack during one of your combos.

You'll also notice a ray of sparkling light guiding you forward. Follow it to reach your first Keeper’s Shrine . You will automatically interact with it when you get close (in future encounters, interacting with Keeper’s Shrines will require player input). After a brief cutscene, you will receive the Incense Trail Talisman .

The original Lords of the Fallen was one of the earliest action-RPGs to fully embrace the Dark Souls formula, though it offered little innovation beyond that. While the overall game lacked distinct features, the boss fights alone could make the journey worthwhile. These imposing enemies, often towering in size and lethally powerful, create an exhilarating experience as players carefully circle them, waiting for the perfect moment to str

Loot everything in the courtyard, including the chest, before heading through the gate in front of you. Here, you will face the final boss of this subregion, Lingxuzi — a giant, wolf-like creature that you’ll likely have to confront multiple times, as defeating him on the first try is unlikely.

This item greatly increases your resistance to burn damage and can be activated to gain immunity from burn damage for a short while. Towards the end of Chapter 1, the Fireproof Mantle will be the first vessel you receive in the game.

Steelrising is a AA soulslike and the first foray into the genre by Spiders, a studio better known for traditional RPGs like Greedfall . While the overall experience may not be groundbreaking and can feel a bit clunky at times, the game's unique setting during the French Revolution, combined with an automaton uprising, offers intriguing boss designs that help captivate play
