Soulslikes Don't Work in First-Person — Yet

Ever since I sold my plasma to buy a copy of Bloodborne back in 2015 (college — wild times!), I’ve been a big Soulslike guy. The challenge, the triumph, the opacity, the bounty of “OH SHIT” moments — I can’t get enough of them. Yet, until the recently released Valor Mortis , I’ve never played a Soulslike in first-person point of view , which is usually associated with a subsection of shooters. Now that I’ve spent some time fighting the plagued soldiers of Napoleon’s army in Valor Mortis , I’m not sold on its first-person Soulslike bona fides.
