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?

Not sure I'll get around to playing too much this weekend since I'll be at school tomorrow for an open day and have stuff to do for next week. Should I find the time, I'll probably continue my DLC playthrough of Lies of P. Having lots of fun with the new Advance weapons.

I'd probably have to go for dex overall. I like these small and nimble weapons that allow for lots of mobility and flashy moves/combos. However, I've come around to a good bonking every now and then. My DS3 playthrough has largely consisted of using my Ultra Greatsword and a two-handed club. Nevertheless, weapons like the Blades of Mercy from Bloodborne are still king to me.

What about you?

I'm at my last boss in my Elden Ring RL1 playthrough: Consort Radahn. Everything else is dead; all remembrances even Malenia and Bayle are dead, all dragons dead, all night bosses dead and I’m 98% sure that I killed all other bosses, but there could be a random beastman somewhere in a cave.

I think, I gonna back up my save file and beat Consort Radahn by burning through all my Runes Arcs and Bloodboil Cooktails.


Dex vs. Str. ? I like my Gut's Greatsword just as much as I like my Blades of Mercy. Even on a first playthrough, which I do mostly meele, I just choose what I stumble upon and seems fun. I also quite like quality weapons that don’t really fit in this categorization like the Church Pick or the Great Katana.
