I think you are thinking of Steelrising. Another mediocre souls-clone set in a Victorian setting.

I liked that one. It was okay enough to beat. Not platinum though.
My issue with this one, from videos they've released is that there's massive mobs everywhere for that artificial difficulty and some enemies were massive sponges.

Lies of P after a half hour. This is not good. There must be around 20 enemies around the first "bonfire" just to get the artificial difficulty up. Movements feel janky AF. Enemy attacks are super random and hard to gage. But mostly I feel the mob swamp of artificial difficulty.
From Software are the gold standard for a reason.

Yeah, I couldn't get over how bad the movement was the whole time I was playing it.

I’m with you. I didn’t even play a demo or anything to know by the early on gameplay trailers it’s immediately a let down and yet another cookie cutter SoulsBorne knock off. It stinks too cause I was kinda hoping this would be like a dark bloody action/horror esque take on Pinocchio without simply being another inferior Souls clone.

I'll see what reviews say at release but I'm expecting low 70-probably not cracking 80 for this on Meta/Open.

Amazing they’ve floated it as something to anticipate for nearly 3 years- and I’m hearing the same things as I did from reveal trailers. Shouldn’t take this long for a cash grab to come to life.

Seems like a lot of From Software fans on Reddit seem to like it.... I don't get it. Maybe I'll give it another shot on release as I kinda find demos a partial waste of time.

I remember you being really into demons at some point. The remake is great.

The remake is amazing. Blue Point is one of the kings of remasters/remakes.

The Dark Souls games are finally on sale (haven't been on sale since Elden Ring came out) on Steam! Just forget Dark Souls 2 exists though.

I got Dark Souls for Switch when it was on sale last month. I played it a little and it seemed good. I'm hoping it will feel fresh playing it on a portable device. I want to finish Demon's Souls remake first.

I'm at the endgame of Dark Souls 3 (just Nameless King, Kiln of the First Flame, Ringed City left) and honestly it's fun but worse than I remember. Wanna do a second quick DS2 run next.

And Nameless King down. It's a really, really good fight. Didn't beat it on my launch playthrough, which is the only other one I've completed

I'm in New Game Plus for Demon's Souls Remake, working toward getting the platinum. I still need to beat Fool's Idol without hitting a clone (missed it the first time around, before I got serious about trophies). I have all the rings. I have to kill the Maiden in Black this endgame. Otherwise, just mopping up All Spells/Miracles (will need to finish the game and do some of the next one).
NG+ has been a bit tough, partly because I'm at pure black character tendency to get that ring. I'm getting one-shotted in Depraved Chasm (5-1) by Depraved ones, especially if they gang up on me. But, I just beat the first boss, so I'm past it for now.
Grinding hasn't been bad at all. The gold coin and pure bladestone to get a couple new rings from Sparkly went pretty fast. Maybe I got lucky... though I did invest in the Sword of Searching.
I am a shameless boss cheeser. Poisoned Flamelurker, Old Hero, Allant. Others I've mostly used ranged magic on. I was trying to do a new cheese for Allant where you sort of pass through the fog door while aiming a bow and he never activates, but I either got stuck in the wall or he was active.

I go back and forth on how good DS3 is. Certainly not without issues but I try not to penalize due to how a game is optimally played.
DS3 actually has the only boss I didn't beat on my first playthrough as well. But for me it was Midir.
DS2 I've actually still only done once and I don't even have it installed. I did not particularly enjoy it but I've been debating another run as the first one was the standard beat it by any means necessary which involved a lot of magic. I kinda want to see what the game feels like with all melee.
