Soulslikes are incredibly engrossing for myriad reasons, and most times it depends entirely on the individual game to accentuate what makes it great apart from others since they can run so many parallels in their design and structure. That’s why Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi franchise is only technically a Soulslike and not fully steeped in that subgenre, though most of its gameplay is certainly oriented around Soulslike combat and design philosophies, and that’s as clear in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as it was in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
