"Soulsborne" usually means the From Software series of games specifically, not the souls-like genre as a whole.
Somehow you know that the time is right.

Really? I thought that was a name they give these type of games like they gives to “Metrovania” games.
I think a lot of these examples are really stretching it. Red Dead 2? Elder Scrolls Morrowind? Metroid? God of War? I think we need to split the page into the big Trope Modifiers and other games that take inspiration from the genre but aren't full examples.
