Too late now.On this SPECIAL 150 SUB EPISODE (thank you!) , 3 guys decide to answer(?) the age old question, what exactly is a soulslike? Does it have to be a FromSoft game like Darksouls or Sekiro? Could it be anything as long as it follows certain rules? Do we figure it out? Do you know what it is? Please tell us. We have no Idea.We have played some...
