What's a non-soulslike game of this quality

probably some indie steam slop

There aren't any

Nioh 2
Lies of P
In terms of combat and responsiveness those 2 games shit all over fromshit.

Ocarina of Time

Big Rigs Over the Road Racing
Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde
Superman 64
Persona 4
Bubsy 3D
Johnny Bazookatone

smartest mutt

Mario Kart World

These are the the correct answers.

Xenoblade X

if you are talking about grand exploration
kcd 1 and 2
rdr 2
death stranding
Witcher3 if you turn off markers

starfield

uhhhhhhhh euro truck sim 2?

Desert Bus

Content-for-dollar, this.
Although it retains some clunk from its era.

Johnny Bazookatone

Bait. It doesn't fit with the other slop.

Asscreed games after Syndicate or Far Cry 3 and afterwards

Why do normies love this slop?
it's just a big map with monsters in and you kill them all the same way, by i-framing through their attacks

Elden Ring

There aren't any.
Also, how come it's been 14 years since Dark souls 1 and it's world design is still uncontested? ER is the one that comes closest but still doesn't top it.

you are a soulless man so you won't get it.

normalfags love open world games, and this one has the game of thrones guy attached to it

there aren’t any

Xenoblade 2

It's puree'd Dark Souls with all the soul removed. Normalfags (don't say "normie", it's a form of self-censorship) love it because it takes the "annoying" aspects of Dark Souls away, like the self-driven exploration, the permanency, the obscured plot, the vague characters, and the lack of "balance". Normalfags want Souls games to be games where you press roll at the right time and all PvP encounters must be "honourable" and "balanced". You must be able to re-spec your character at any time and all NPCs must serve some tangible function.

Armored Core 6

Just play Cyberpunk 2077 since it released broken like this mess but at least it had the decency to fix its fuck ups and not release a half assed dlc.

You must be able to re-spec your character at any time

Good thing that’s not Elden Ring since you need to beat a major optional boss to do to and it cost a consumable.

You shouldn't be able to do it at all.

Lies of P

better combat than fromsoft

lol, no.

don't say "normie", it's a form of self-censorship

True. "Normie" is what you would say if you came from a site that bans you for saying fag.

Assassin's Creed Shadows ( pretty much every latest ubi open world )
Divinity Original Sin 2
Horizon Forbidden West
Borderlands 3
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

get cool sword in late game

can’t use it because anon says you shouldn’t be able to

It has done parryslop, rallying, and weapon transformations better than From could. It made Bloodborne and Sekiro irrelevant.

WAAAAAAAAH!!! WHY DO MY ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!!!!!1!???

FWUAHHHHHHHHH!!!! I SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDO ANY ACTION INSTANTLY!!!!11

Fuck you, cunt.

Assassin's Creed

Gollum, you can pick better games, respect yourself

WuKong and Khazan

The environmental art design is unparalleled. Very pretty and stunning fantasy world.
But it's not coherent in any way. Enemies are just scattered with little thought to theming or sense in universe. Level design is basically non-existent outside of catacombs, which are boring. The few dungeons are great on a first playthrough, but then it strikes you how there's really one way through them (except for 2 ways in Stormveil, wowie).
Too bad the gameplay is just so so aside from the very deep weapon/spell build options. Most of the bosses and enemies put me to sleep and then some have unfun gimmicks.
The story sucks also. I appreciate a story built on item descriptions, but this is just a bunch of breadcrumbs leading nowhere and saying nothing more than "something something alchemy."

damn, my visits to the proctologist aren't anywhere near this cheerful
