FromSoftware’s president, Hidetaka Miyazaki, is well-known for popularizing the Soulslike genre among a wider audience with games likeDemon’s Souls,Dark Souls,Bloodborne, andElden Ring. While these video games are widely considered as some of the best games of all time, fans hate one thing about it: predictable boss fights. This was a major problem in theDark Soulsseries and whileDS3fixed this problem to some extent, it returned inElden Ring.
While working onDark Souls 3, Miyazaki was aware of this problem and decided to fix this issue. However, some fans complained thatElden Ringsuffered from the same problem. Soulslike games are well-known for their difficulty but fighting boring predictable bosses can ruin the overall gaming experience, especially for fans who are looking for a challenge.

Some boss fights were indeed very challenging and unique inDS3like The Dancer of the Frigid Valley boss fight, however, the problem returned in 2022’sElden Ring.
