This article was first published in February 2025 in the PC Gamer Magazine issue 407, as part of our ‘Why I Love’ as part of the series. Every month we ask our authors who they like about video games, and even more importantly is why.
I finished nine souls just before 2024 – and I’m glad I did, because it’s one of my favorite games of the year. Due to its beautiful art direction, solid story, and extraordinary fighting design. But the reason for this is that it follows the trend that is absolutely pleasing to me: “Solis Like” gender recently, a lot of “secular”.
If you miss the software masterwork, here is a basic explanation. In Seciro, your purpose is not just to reduce your enemy’s health bar to zero – it is to break their currency. To do this, you need to apply the damage to it. Taking chips from their health will do this, but the real name of the game is the time for your blocks.
The window is more forgiving more than all or nothing with the players of the spirits of the past, and the reward for doing so is proportional. Nevertheless, grafting this system fights the boss with the rhythm and forward.
Sacrao is sometimes described as a rhythm game in a train coat, and this is exactly true. When you are settled in a very agitated state in a state of flow, you can see yourself by tapping the block button as if someone can be drummed. But I really don’t like the rhythm games – and yet, I like a good “secarolic”. Why is this? Well, I have a couple of ideas.
Examination
Some of the best boss fights of the passage have been its “couple”. These are the owners who help you feel as if you are standing with your opponent. Opponent Their key is partially aesthetic, but it is also a sense of trade.
It is difficult to do when you just block or dodge the roll. One time block system, however, matches the push and bridge of the martial arts movie. Instead of rolling cheap fat around the wide swings, you put your feet before applying your feet and defeating your enemy strikes. This is a completely inclined voxia (this is why Volksia Fest Wu Long: Falnal’s family used it).
When I walk in the boss room, I have an unbearable nerve joy, the sword swings are flattened by an inaccessible chain, and then a little bit of star begins to download them. It is like a matrix, if the matrix faces a very slow AOL-AOL-Jara Landline connection. It has reached the point where I don’t care about beating the boss, now, I just want to realize that skill. I have no problem, I can stop trying to remove the final boss of nine Solice whenever I want.
Nine Solis extended it with “overwhelming counter”: You need to keep the block button below to charge, and then release at the right moment. Catch existence, you can charge so much before you completely eliminate your defense. Successful, though, and you will send your enemy railing, no matter what a blow to them. Which takes me to the other half of this mechanic’s l my love – why some games let you perry Anything else
David met with Goliat
From ancient times, we have worshiped the underdug altar. David followed the Golith with a well-kept sling shot, Odisis bridged the fig tree to avoid cheribidas-you think. There is something in our minds that likes a small man’s idea to choose the right moment only for the strike, and eliminate all difficulties. Solice Games are the same, put you in a small boy’s shoes, and then train you to meet every round, “No, I win.”
In my mind, the timed block and Perry are the nearest game that can achieve this legendary feeling of demolishing a giant. Contrary to the double idea, this benefit of the timely block is the seemingly infinite suspension of disbelief that we have behind the wheels when we hold for paraning.
If I was asked to believe that a small robot eliminated the size of a large building -shaped fist by raising itself at the right time on the TV show, I rotate my eyes. In ultrason, however, the task of batting the body of King Manos’ Giga Souz is nothing but your complex artificial arm. Well, I’m happy with the silver screen too, but the thing is, I will need the World Building and Setup for it. V1 does not need Chekhov’s gun, he just does it.

Since I wrote this piece in February, Claire Obaskar: The campaign 33 came out and continued to prove me right – the game for the aforementioned reasons benefits the game greatly. Especially with its later playing Super Bose. Fighting with Simon was very satisfying, which could kill any of my party in a swing of my blade, and my land was standing in the face of these impossible difficulties. Here in my end, I say that Paisan are “the future of sports like the soul”, but OL33 has taught me that it has found a place in other genders.
Personally, I think the future of sports like timed block solis. It only opens up a lot of possibilities, so much satisfactory combination with many elements of your average soul, that I am surprised that Eldon color did not have it (outside a hard terrace introduced in the shadow of the Erder). Let me tap my way through Millennia’s Water Fool Dance, Headtaca Miazaki. I promise that it will be as cool as hell.
