Alaloth is a strange beast: it’s a sprawling isometric RPG both immediately familiar and unlike anything I’ve played before. It’s as indebted to Diablo as it is to the ye olde Infinity Engine games, but it’s also unmistakably inspired by Dark Souls. It’s a weird hybrid that took me a long time to come to…
