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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's a question you haven't gotten an answer to yet in a Soulslike? (lemmy.zip)

Two giveaways and what feels like 3 years packed into a single one later, we're wrapping up this year and moving closer to the holidays. Lots of love and happy holidays to anyone who celebrates!

I'm on winter break, and I intend to play some soulslikes in the next two weeks. Might finish up Lies of P DLC and installed Sekiro on my PC for my, probably, 10th playthrough or so. Let's see if I'll get to it or if I'll keep binging Disco Elysium lol.

Not really a question about a game specifically but more so for the early adopters: Do you feel some sort of pride or accomplishment knowing that you started out when the series was still in its infancy? Think you started with OG Demon's Souls or Dark Souls 1. Do you like where the series went with later installments, do you feel like the games have lost their roots? Very curious to hear your thoughts!

Hey everyone, new to the community as well as being new to Lemmy (well my account is new at least, I've been lurking for a while). I just wrapped up my first NG+ playthrough of Elden Ring and decided to fire up my Dark Souls 1 save that I was stuck at Sen's Fortress on and hadn't touched in a year. To make things short, I made it through the Fortress, got hung up on the Anor Londo archers, got past them and just got done beating Ornstein and Smough on my third or fourth try, so I'm feeling pretty good right now!

Don't really have a question, just happy to be here.
