It is somewhat surprising we haven’t seen more games try to ape Dark Souls in the wake of its success. While there are a few big titles with similar mechanics (Nioh, Lords of the Fallen, and The Surge come to mind), most of those games are from the last few years and all of them released after Dark Souls’ own sequel. You’d think by now, we’d be swimming in a sea of “Souls-like” titles trying to emulate what FromSoftware did so well.
In the indie spectrum, there have been a few more games. Unworthy is one such game, releasing just a few weeks before E3 and practically getting lost in the storm of gaming news this month. Once the show died down, I gave it a shot and am wondering why more people weren’t talking about it.
This certainly isn’t another Dark Souls or even a genre-defining classic, but diehard fans of From’s franchise should find something they can enjoy with this game.
