10 Souls-Like Games You Probably Never Played

Shadow of the Colossus

Toppling immense beings of unimaginable power across a dark fantasy landscape? Sounds vaguely Souls-like. That being said, Shadow of the Colossus from Sony and Team ICO also had a lot in common with Monster Hunter. The story saw the protagonist Wander venturing across the land and taking down the massive Colossi to revive his lover. This wasn’t done through hacking and slashing but through platforming, understanding each Colossus’s weakness and attacking their glowing sigil (along with using the environment in some way). Shadow of the Colossus also stood out for its aesthetics and atmospheric story-telling, even if it wasn’t particularly difficult per say.
