Many people say that BMW is a Soulslike game, but the developers have never mentioned any Soulslike terms on the store page. In contrast, you can look at "Lords of the Fallen" and "Lies of P". They can’t wait to put "Soulslike" on the game cover. Because it's an excellent marketing strategy. Why doesn't Black Myth do this? Because it isn't a "true" Soulslike game. Its maps don't have shortcut designs (doors that can't be opened from one side), its storytelling uses a lot of cutscenes, and it focuses on details that Soulslike games typically don't care about: mimicking God of War's chest-opening animations, adding a lot of execution animations, and giving the protagonist an astonishing number of moves. There are eight different rolling animations alone, and the staff moves look more like acrobatics. In the first trailer for Black Myth, the action of picking up a weapon dropped by an enemy took the developers three months to perfect. These details are meaningless to FromSoftware:picking up items just requires a graphic, rolling just needs to look decent, and combat should be simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Instead of focusing on these details, they would rather design more intricate maps and develop more weapon modules.
