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?

I usually try to make the character look like myself - both in soulslikes that allow for character creation as well as any other game that does. In BG3, I ended up going for a draugh (?) and without a beard but still bald. In Bloodborne, I went for bald and glasses but no beard. Always something missing from how I look like irl, I realise lol

I think the last time I tried to create myself was the Mii character creator?

I always go for something different, usually the character ends up looking androgynous or very rarely has a beard (beards usually look either bad in 3D games and/or clip through clothing).
