Black Myth Wukong - Soulslike

Black Myth: Wukong has elements of Soulslike games, particularly the exploration, shrine mechanics and limited amount of heals, and the difficulty of the bosses.

However, the game's combat is more akin to Action RPGs such as God of War and Bayonetta than Souls games.

Stellar Blade is a similar game that has soulslike elements but with the gameplay closer to Action RPGs.

Differences From Soulslike Games

The main differences with Black Myth: Wukong from Soulslike games is the combat speed and damage from bosses. This game is noticably faster than Soulslike games, and it plays more like DMC rather than something like Sekiro.

Also, the damage from bosses isn't as high compared to Soulslike games where you can get 1-2 shot by an attack. It should be noted that bosses still do a good damage, but it looks to be more forgiving based on the trailers we've seen.
