Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

907 readers
28 users here now

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?

Edit: Courtesy of an anonymous donor, there are two more games to give away: Lies of P and Remnant 2 Ultimate Edition! This pushes up the number of winners from 5 to 7! Thank you for your contribution 💜

Edit: I upped the number of copies for Another Crab's Treasure from 1x to 3x. Now, we'll have 9 winners :) I've also edited in which games will be distributed as gifts on Steam and which ones are keys. For codes we don't need to befriend each other on Steam - for gifts we do.

Hey! Here's part 2 of the Christmas Giveaway I mentioned last time. This time, there's more games and copies to win but also less time to enter the giveaway because I fumbled the dates a little D:

Here's the games to win:

  • 3x Blasphemous (gift)
  • 1x Nioh Complete Edition OR Steelrising (gift)
  • ~~1x~~ 3x Another Crab's Treasure (code)
  • 1x Lies of P (code)
  • 1x Remnant 2 Ultimate Edition (code)

All of these are amazing and worth an entry if you haven't played one of them for sure! ACT is definitely the highlight here since it's a very different vibe of soulslike compared to your average Dark Souls or Elden Ring.

What you need to do to participate:

  • Post a comment here. It can be anything you want. Have you heard of the games? Why would you like to play them? Anything, really. Ideally, you'll mention which game(s) you already have, so I can keep that in mind.

  • You need to be subscribed to the community at the time of entering the giveaway (no minimum amount of time being subscribed).

  • You don’t need to be a Lemmy.Zip user. However, your account needs to have been created before 15th December 2025.

  • You need to have a Steam account and be fine with adding me on Steam, so I can gift the game to you.

  • After the giveaway ends, ie. around 3 pm CET on 18th December, please check the post again and be in your DMs if you're pulled as a winner, so we don't lose precious time and risk my not being able to send you the game - the sale I'm taking advantage of for this giveaway will only be going until 7pm. I can't guarantee to be able to send you a copy otherwise.

Again, the giveaway will be open from when the post is live on 17th December 2025 to 3 pm CET on 18th December.

The giveaway will be handled by Zippy Bot ie. the winners will be pulled automatically. This means that at the end of the giveaway, I will lock the thread and Zippy will pull two random entries as winners.

I'll distribute copies according to the order the winners are pulled by Zippy from top to bottom. This means that the first three winners will get a copy of Blasphemous, the fourth one Steelrising or Nioh, and the fifth one Another Crab's Treasure. If you happen to have the game already, we'll try to figure something out. Maybe there's a different game you're interested in that costs the same.

As mentioned last time, please only comment if you want to participate. Answers to other comments in the thread also count, so keep that in mind.

Good luck to anyone participating!

Thanks for putting this together. I'm definitely looking forward to some gaming time over the holidays. I've been interested in ACT since I saw Yahtzee's review about it last year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38qwenUMg_M). I've heard so much good stuff about Lies of P as well.

I have Blasphemous and played through it a couple years ago, and it's one of the more memorable metroidvanias I've played just because of the setting/atmosphere and story. The dark quasi-christo mythology corruption is just perfect in how they do it. I've been meaning to play through again some time because there are multiple endings, although I'll probably try to get to the sequel at some point before I get back around to the first one.

Hope your holidays are good.
