I got to the word “Bullfroglike” and stopped reading
It’s refering to a defunct games company: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bullfrog_Productions_games
I’m very familiar with Bullfrog. Loved a lot of their games.
I hate the trend of gaming journalists using “-like” to describe genres of games
No idea what that means, but I do know the devs of this game also made War for The Overworld and they did a fantastic job of making and maintaining it.
I’d highly recommend their studio… and if this is the type of game you’re interested in, you should definitely check it out!
No hate towards Bullfrog or the game featured in the article. I just hate the meme of using “X-like” to describe a genre.
I don’t know, I never saw it as a meme but rather just shorthand in cases where no other term existed that efficiently communicated the genre or style of a game.
Do you have a replacement term available for Souls-like that sums up what you can expect of a game within that genre using two words or less?
