For many years, Japanese developer FromSoftware has frustrated and satisfied players with its hardcore fantasy action-RPGs. Starting with Demon's Souls in 2009, the fantasy side of its output transitioned into its Soulslike form, carrying on the spirit of earlier projects while establishing a more rigid third-person formula. Thanks to these games, FromSoftware has continually topped itself with new levels of success, all while upholding the traditions that have guided its hands since the beginning.
