Soulslike Memes

The eternal trap of game development. That gorgeous RPG with stunning visuals? Suddenly loses all appeal when you discover it's "Soulslike" - code for "you'll die 500 times to the tutorial boss while questioning your life choices." No one admits it, but we all do that SpongeBob walk-away-quickly move when we see that genre tag. Beautiful graphics are just the honeypot before the pain begins. It's like writing perfect documentation for code that crashes on launch.
