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!

Does Stellar Blade count as a souls like?

Sure :) How do you like it thus far?

It’s not bad but pretty short and I heard they ran out of money.

It’s basically a parry game which I’m not the biggest fan of since it forces you into a single play style. The first boss took the longest to figure out the parry timings and since I started playing on Hard it was a lot less forgiving and you have a lot fewer tools in the beginning.

By the third boss I was getting the hang of things.
