I find the souls-light games more fun. That style of combat with interesting bosses and set save points I think are great for exploration/combat games, but the intense difficulty of actual soulslike games is just not enjoyable. That style in an easier package is way more enjoyable.
It's not even difficulty. It's arbitrary animations and timings that require study and memorization of each enemy and boss. It's dumb and not at all intuitive.
I saw a YouTube video that captured it well. The boss readies the attack, then starts dancing in twenty seconds of feints. That is the essence of souls like games and it's retarded.
I hate to be That Guy, but (unless I'm missing the point and you're actually talking about routes, which is possible), I think you mean "rote memorization."
And, for the record, the only reason I'm even bothering to correct you is...I admit, I figured it was "wrote." It's not "root," it's not "route." But I didn't realize it was "rote." Whoops.
A memorizing process using routine or repetition, often without full attention or comprehension.
Mechanical routine

Yep, a lot of rote memorization.
Basically, it's like playing old NES games, but with better graphics.

Yep, rote is correct. I guess there's also a little bit of route memorizing too.
It’s great. You suck. :)
It can suck and be too difficult for someone simultaneously.
Honestly it was just a novelty that wore off for me after clearing the second gargoyle back in Dark Souls.
