I'm getting fed up with the generic-looking UE5 east-Asian souls game.
I'm almost wondering if they are all just sharing assets at this point

I’m big fan of FROM’s souls games but I’m really starting to get sick of this trend. Its everyone making modern military shooter in PS3/360 era all over again.

This looks like it's going to end up a Sony exclusive. Lol

Chinese game so 0 hype even if it looks good. Might never see the light of day.

It just not about easy mode or hard mode, there are other type of action RPG and action combat out there other than “Souls-like”.

i hear you. as someone who also likes the souls games, i pretty much avoid all 'souls-like' games at this point...

Me too, if FROM stops making Souls games then I will look for alternative but until then I don’t need other “souls-like” games.

I’m pretty sure it’s one big con, and it’s all the same game by the CCP, designed to steal your identity.

No its not the monkey game but a cheap chinese knockoff of that monkey game.

Wuchang set in the Ming Dynasty with a main character who looks western and fights with a Japanese Katana.... I don't even.

Don't get me wrong, all these Wuxia new games from Asia (China, Korea, etc) they all look really good. Graphics are top notch, animation is amazing. But they are starting to blend together and its hard to tell them apart. And if I know Asians (...because I am one), I'm guessing they've begun to see a working formula (Souls-like, dark gritty art style, 3rd person action) and will push a lot of similar products to see which sticks. So far we have Phantom Blade 0, Where Winds Meet, and now Wuchang Fallen Feathers.
I'm not hating, just an observation.

Did From open fucking Souls schools around Asia? I can't even tell these apart anymore.
I love Souls games but if I read that exact blurb about a "ruined world" and all that shit one more time, I might shit on someone's desk over there. Also, straight copying stuff used to be frowned upon, I like how they now just throws Soulslike in press shit like it's a good thing.

Seriously china as a society are boring people with no imagination due to years of government control, they literally have to pay students to go abroad because of this very reason

*Sekiro*-like. Looks like they're going for an identical combat/parry system and have replaced the shinobi prosthetic with a monster/demon arm that functions the same way.

This one looks the least interesting of the bunch. Most generic, no clear story angle.
Personally I'm looking forward to Crimson Desert the most, the Korean one trying to be next gen Witcher.
Don't forget Wukong, the biggest one that's also the same formula. And although different culture, theres' enough overlap that all the open world samurai games that have come out recently feel a bit similar as well: Like a Dragon Ishin, Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of Ronin, Ass Creed Shadows.

I'd prefer more simple Action games in the vein of Bloodrayne/Max Payne, Godhand, Madworld, Ninja Gaiden, Blade of Darkness instead of the Soul Clone Facility.
Like man what do we have to do to get a new Onimusha. And if Konami didn't suck we could have a new age 3D Castlevania game to knock our socks off.

Agreed. The only reason I didn't include Wukong was because the main character is a monkey and the others are human characters, so its a bit easier to discern. There were other wuxia games prior to this like the sword n fairy series but I think Wukong is the first real high budget looking game, which got a lot of positive feedback from the community. I think thats what started the sudden influx of wuxia games, more specifically from China.
