The Soulslike genre's popularity has grown exponentially over the last few years. The worldwide success of FromSoftware's Elden Ring helped to elevate the genre to new heights, and as a result, gamers are presented with an increasing number of new soulslike titles to play. The broad range available inevitably means that not all of them can live up to the high standards set by titles such as Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, but without a doubt, soulslike developers are slowly but surely learning the differences between success and failure. 2023 saw titles such as Lies of P prove to be critical and commercial successes, and 2024 could well have some similar success stories come the end of the year.
