Holy cow. Even Balatro? Have you actually played it? Some just stay stuck on the idea that they must keep everything on death or game over. It’s literally no different from fighter games, super mario, and so mamy games where once you die you restart with unlockables rather than a set character with a gear of inventory. Except all a souls like does is restart you at a different point of the level without your souls, blood echoes, etcetera and maybe recover a soul form type of thing. If you find that lazy I don’t know what to tell you. All it does is refresh pacing in a lot of cases to have mid and late game benefits but with the early game feel of progression mixed into every new play through.
This sounds like if I disliked racing games I should just tell everyone how bad they are like it’s not a subjective opinion. If it was something actually controversial and with a point like cheap ad riddled mobile games or f2p crap then we’d get somewhere.
