Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

907 readers

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?

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!

Not sure what I'll be playing this weekend as plans are, naturally, all over the place with Christmas

Still, I want to say a thank you to v4ld1z both for doing so much to keep this community alive and more specifically for running those giveaways! I was too ill to take part but it's lovely to see such generosity

I'm definitely eyeing up Sekiro while it's in the steam sale! A little present to myself
