There have been plenty of games that are modeled after the hugely influential "Dark Souls" series in recent years. "Mortal Shell" is the first one of these "Souls-like" games that I've played that really captured the essence of the "Souls" games while also carving out its own identity.
One of the game's unique mechanics is hardening. At any time, the player can turn their body into a stone-like material that halts most enemy attacks and recover stamina to get ready to dish out more damage.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — The slow digital bleed of Tabor Robak's "Twisted Scribe" greets you at the entry of "Open World: Video Games and Contemporary Art," the expansive, exhaustive exhibition of video game culture at the Currier Museum in New Hampshire.

It's also not even remotely what awaits, just a few steps inside.
