Most people active here probably know of the FS catalogue. Given Lemmy's population, the term soulslike may be applied to games quite liberally, so games like Hollow Knight, Nine Sols, Blasphemous and similar games, which incorporate soulslike elements, would all fall under the same umbrella term.
What are your must-plays? What surprised you? What is a sleeper hit you feel like people don't talk about enough?
Let us know!
Edit: I do know that the games in the thumbnail aren't soulslikes in the traditional sense; however, they show some elements that are often associated with soulslikes, so they serve more as a conversation starter to think outside the box and the rigid ideas of what a soulslike truly is and can be
Tunic, which is also incidentally one of the best games ever made for reasons I can't say or I'd ruin it.
Tunic is on my wishlist to buy. I should get it because I just finished Samurai Zero and Silksong ain't coming out soon. Thanks for reminding me.
How does it stack up to oldschool Zelda titles in your opinion?
I never played the oldschool Zelda games so its not really a comparison I can make sadly.
