I’ve never played a soulslike games because they are a bit intimidating to me. Amy recommendations for soulslikes games to start on or for beginners to the genre?

I do not enjoy Soulslikes, but I really liked Tunic. Some things it has going for it:

  • It is extremely nonverbal, but what it does give you is invested in helping you figure out a path to success. By intention, that’s not always obvious. You may need to work out for yourself when to dodge or to block.
  • The atmosphere is bright and cheery, though it has its spooky and atmospheric bits.
  • The camera is top down, so you don’t need to manage the camera while playing.
  • Dying is not very punishing. You lose a bit of currency, which you can retain at the same spot; and that currency isn’t often critical to progress
