        Souls-likes are pretty much the antithesis of what I personally enjoy in games. They seem stressful as fuck and my capacity for handling more stress is currently somewhere near zero

          They don’t have to be, I feel like their reputation might be what stresses newcomers to the genre more than the game itself.

            Oh trust me, I know myself. I really haven’t had the energy to play challenging games in a while now, so games like Cloudpunk, Sable, Lightyear Frontier, The Invincible, etc etc have been right up my alley. Anything I don’t have to grind, I have enough of that in my life as it is

              That’s fair, it’s personal preference I suppose. If ever you’re interested, remember that there are always cheats/mods that can make the game easier if you want to experience the world and story.

                That’s a good tip. I keep hearing lots of positive things about the story and the world, so it’d be fun to check it out for myself
