FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can’t run it.

Opening up Morrowind to try to replace Starfield or DOS 1 to replace Baldur’s Gate 3

    Lies of P is the only game that really matched up to souls games, but Nioh came pretty close. The Nioh complete edition was free on Epic games a while ago, so check if you ever redeemed it. If you don’t own it, it goes on sale for really cheap nowadays.

    Nioh 2 is pretty good as well but it’s very much more of the same. I didn’t get that far in it to tell you which is better.

    Avoid Mortal Shell, I thought it wasn’t very good.

    Salt and Sanctuary is actually really good despite looking kind of mediocre. Expect to get lost a lot, though.

      I tried to get into Mortal Shell twice now and both times I’ve ran away screaming. I hear great things about it, but I find the character feel so cumbersome from the outset that I just give up after an hour or two.

        It just plays different. Once you get a bit further than an hour or 4 in, it clicks. Frustrating at first as the difficulty has a technique ramp and some rather hard seeming enemies.

        Hellpoint is also a lot of fun.

        Lords of the fallen is good, though some of the bosses and ranged enemies are annoying. Need a powerful machine due to the optimization and bugs, daily patches for most of the week.

          I’m probably going to play Lords when it’s cheaper. I’ve just finished Lies of P and I’m working my way through Dark Souls Remastered, and with Spider-Man and that new Mario game, I’m officially maxed out with regards to game time.
