Ashen is a quality Soulslike with a nice art style and some great ideas about seamless and anonymous online co-op. The dungeons are memorable, the evolving town is awesome, and the increased focus that quests provide is a nice touch.

Get on PS StoreAshen is an open-world, co-op action RPG where players search for a home in a punishing yet satisfying world, similar to "souls" genre games. It features passive multiplayer, with occasional encounters deciding if you fight, party or ignore other players. The game stands out with its unique visuals, stellar soundtrack, and a wholesome story, but has some grinding and bugs, and may not be highly replayable.

Ashen is a Souls-like that succeeds despite its lack of originality. The simplified progression, tracked quest objectives, and a persistent companion make it a great way to get into this challenging sub-genre.
