Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and has your liking Soulslikes influenced your taste in other games? How? (lemmy.zip)

Do you usually play action-adventure role-playing games, or are soulslikes the exception? Have you found tastes in games be majorly influenced by your liking Soulslikes?

I don't think it's had an influence on the games I like but more so on my being rather picky when it comes to combat-focused games. Games that are too spammy or don't feature good boss fights don't really interest me these days (with some exceptions here and there). I do like to play other games after having a bit of a break since the last soulslike really had me in its grips.

What about you?

Edit: Also sorry for the lack of posts recently. I admit to having browsed reddit using Stealth for the past couple years which helped me with ideas for posts and memes. Since that's been shut down recently, I have pretty much no clue what's happening in the genre right now. I've also got exams, so that probably isn't helping either. :D

I'm looking at playing Convergence 3.0. I already played the older versions a bunch, but 3.0 is a big update again. I've been watching MissMikkaa playing it and it looks awesome.

It is another big time sink, so I'm not sure if I want to start it right now. Or perhaps play some co-op with somebody. But it does look pretty good.
