Have you ever played nuclear throne? That’s kinda my preferred pacing in a game, but there aren’t many. I’d love a soulslike where combat was that fast and frantic, and bosses are really difficult but also die really fast if you play it right.

so I’m not sure I know what you mean.

I was mostly basing it on videos I’ve watched. I haven’t actually played it. I’d kind of consider any fight that lasts more than 10 minutes to be well into bullet sponge territory though.

Having a stance meter instead of healthbars sounds pretty interesting though, I think I’ll check it out.

How bullet spongey are enemies? One of the reasons I have avoided eldenring is because it looks that every mob has a million HP.

Every time I try a newer Civ title, I end up just going back and doing a Civ IV playthough.

Also, I am pretty sure the games main fanbase is probably pretty… critical of police, to put it mildly.

Beyond that, Zero Parades devs aren’t the Disco Elysium devs anyway.

How so? People are still allowed to make original music. The actually good music is human made anyway.
