I don't know how you landed on that, nor how you are "disappointed". The moment we saw early footage, screenshots, and word mouth, I already knew they going in hard on the
Berserk/Tolkien aesthetic. Not the
Nausicaa or Ghibli inspiration. I don't know what your expectations were, but I feel you were fantasizing too much on what it wanted to be and not what the game is becoming. Your idea does sound awesome, but I would not be invested in a
Dark Souls style of game, even with a more other Miyazaki inspiration to it.
Demon Souls,
Dark Souls, and
Bloodborne are all just straight up
Berserk references with minor references from other properties thrown here and there.
I agree with you there, but you got plenty of other options:
- The Surge 2
- Ni-Oh 1 & 2
- Absolver
- Sekiro - Though I can't blame you for not getting invested. Absurd difficulty and being obtuse with items just to get some hidden encounter or ending.
- Bloodborne
