Wo Long Fallen Dynasty hands-on: A Soulslike with friendship

At the end of my Wo Long Fallen Dynasty hands-on, I'm standing alongside a trusted comrade-in-arms in the middle of a dusty fighting arena high in the desert mountains. We've just slain a demonic boar the size of a cottage, and are feeling pretty good about ourselves as a direct result. While my time with Team Ninja's last series, Nioh, has certainly come in handy, I've found Wo Long a much more approachable experience, even as it changes some key elements to the frantic combat formula that made its forebears such fantastic Soulslike games.
