With exhilarating parkour and a thrilling sense of momentum, Valor Mortis is not your usual Soulslike - I just wish it wasn't so beholden to the genre that inspired it

Valor Mortis, from Ghostrunner developer One More Level, blends exhilarating parkour and fluid combat with traditional Soulslike elements, though it ultimately wishes to be more than just a genre imitator. While it features familiar mechanics like bonfires and corpse runs, its first-person parkour, gunplay, and momentum-based combat set it apart. Despite some predictable enemy design and a story that doesn't quite land, the game's core mechanics, level design, and boss encounters make for a highly entertaining experience.
