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?

Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

Yeah, I also bounced of hard of Sekiro.

Build variety is one of my greatest joys in Souls Games and while I occasionally enjoy parrying, to be forced to always parry and deflect didn’t jive with me.

Straight after beating DS3, I planned to go in release order and play Sekiro after two (?) days of playing I instead bought Eldne Ring. Now I have beaten ER so many times, even once all Bosses at RL1.

I will probably return to Sekiro and give it another go … eventually.
