    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t there a pause feature in most souls-like games? Or is this because its the boss battles that take up the most time and pausing in those is a death sentence?

    Sorry if this is a newby question, I don’t play souls-like games. I’ve tried, they just are not for me.

      Maybe in more recent “-like” games but most of them do not actually.

      Dark Souls 1-3, Elden Ring, Lies of P and others typically do NOT let you pause. So you can’t stop in the middle of a fight.

      I think this is slowly going away but a handful of clones still do this.
