<br>Fans of dark fantasy RPGs have been eagerly awaiting the release of FromSoftware's Elden Ring ** and Activision Blizzard's _Diablo 4** _ . However, with Elden Ring's February 25 release date still weeks away and [https://Flylastminutes.com/ Diablo 4 mounts] 4 still only rumored for 2023, players might be looking for something else to play - or to find their way back to some similar RPGs they still haven't finished.

There are other games that do this, such as Salt and Sanctuary and Mortal Shell , but FromSoftware's auteur game director for Elden Ring , Hidetaka Miyazaki , arguably does it better than anyone. Players waiting for Elden Ring will find the Souls games to be excellent primers to the upcoming adventure if they haven't already played through them all, as FromSoftware's previous series appear to have heavily influenced the upcoming title. This influence will have both stylistic and gameplay impacts on Elden Ring , which is set to use a feature seen in Dark Souls 2 where players could equip two weapons and attack with both. Diablo fans will find the Souls games' deep lore, gameplay difficulty, and dark foreboding atmosphere equally familiar, despite the more obvious differen<br><br> <br>It is hard to say if the implementation of another Auction House would be a good or a bad thing.

The game will follow the story of a New Yorker named Frey Holland, who gets transported to Athia, and she has to use her newfound magical abilities to survive and find her way back home. __ The game could become one of the biggest RPGs to be released in 2023 because Forspoken has the edge over other open-world games due to its interesting traversal mechanics that feel similar to parkour. Besides being useful for exploration, the traversal system can also be utilized in combat. For example, Frey can move to the back of shielded enemies and attack from behind for extra damage or quickly find cover in the environment to avoid unblockable attacks from bos<br> <br>An attempt to regress completely to the slower gameplay of Diablo 2 might make some veterans of the series happy, but it would likely be a rough adjustment for players who have stuck with Diablo 3 since 2012. Combat is going to need to find a balance for its endgame between the core identities of Diablo 2 and 3.

<br>Returning to that dark and gritty tone of the first games is probably the biggest wish of the fanbase right now.
