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!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Bloodborne was my first and was my favourite for the longest time. I jumped in blind, bounced off the game hard and came back like 4 years later and was enthralled with the game, its vision, theme etc.
Sekiro is my favourite simply because the gameplay is unparalleled. Amazing boss fights, all gas no filler (except for a few bosses that feel a little out of place), amazing soundtrack and visuals. Bounced off the game even harder than Bloodborne and had to start the game over three separate times and took several years in between the attempts. Finally clicked sometime throughout the playthrough and went on to get a platinum. I really wish we'd get a sequel or DLC simply because of its untapped potential. Here's to hoping we'll get something sometime in the future.
Lies of P is wedged right in between the two at second place. Perfect mix of both games. :)
