Ep. 43 - Fromsoft vs. Soulslikes (ft. Dave Jackson of Tales from the Backlog)

Here is a question that has long tugged at the minds of both Will and I: Is there ever going to be a different developer that understands the formula/philosophy Fromsoftware puts into their video games? And will that developer make something that captures the spirit of the Fromsoft catelog and make their own original concept? This time around we're joined by returning cast member, Dave Jackson, to really break down what makes FROM special and who in the industry has made a serviceable experience in the Soulsborne genre.
