Phantom Blade Zero Final Hands-On Preview

It's been around 15 years since FromSoftware popularized the Soulslike genre, and it feels safe to say that it isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Just this year alone has seen the release of Mortal Shell 2 and Nioh 3, and Valor Mortis is right around the corner. But while the Soulslike genre is undoubtedly thriving, the sheer abundance of titles is getting a little tiresome for some. That's why some fans have turned their attention towards more Soulslike-adjacent titles, which take heavy inspiration from the genre while also offering distinct mechanics. Phantom Blade Zero is one such title.
