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?

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!

Silksong is kicking my ass, so I might give it a break and switch to Another Crabs Treasure. Ive been letting the little guy tackle that one first but its about time I give it a go.

If you want to beat Sekiro: parry parry parry and parry some more. You really need to nail those. Mikiri counters are a must, and landing an ichimonji can be devastating. What really tripped me up was unblockable attacks: try jumping them instead of dodging. Coming off Dark Souls 1-3 jumping in combat was never an option so it took way to long to realize its needed in Sekiro.

I'm in the know - I've platinumed the game on PS5 :D Played for around an hour yesterday and beat Gyoubu. Let's see how fast the rest of the run will be.

I'll try a base-power run with the Bell activated. Will probably take some time to get used to parry timings again, and I felt a little devastated that I died to tutorial Genichiro but whatever :D I'll get used to it again
