68: Demon Souls and The Evolution of Souls-like Games

Published: Jan. 25, 2021, 8 p.m.

This week it's a Souls-like special. I've been playing a lot of Demon Souls on PS5, and I have a look back at the Evolution of Souls-like games. This includes FromSoftware's journey to how they made Demon Souls, and the games that followed. I also look at one of the most anticipated games of the year with Hollow Knight Silksong and why you should be excited about it.
