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.

20 vials is a lot, if you're dying that much you should probably go somewhere else. Not all interactions with games are meant to be frictionless.
20 vials is very generous but that's not what the problem is. The problem is that they are a non-recharging consumable. Unlike estus flasks which fully recharge every time you go to the bonfire, blood vials can run out.
If it's your first time playing, you might run out. And if you run out, you have to go through a very un-fun and time consuming farming run just to restock
Like I said...not everything is meant to be frictionless. I'm sure a lot of people think losing all your ~~souls~~blood uh somethings? isn't fun, either.
