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!

Happy holidays to you as well, Druid! Thank you for keeping this comm running, may the comming year be of further growth and success for you!

I'm down with a cold and have been feeling awful.this past few days but I managed to collect the dlc golden records and finally complete my trophy case for Lies of P!/still need to do the final dlc chapter and beat arlecchino again, though. I'm considering using the summon this this time.

Was also playing nightreign , it's fun but it gives me a weird anxiety sometimes playing with others. I don't like having to lead the team at all XD kind of got a hang of the map and how you are supposed to be "routing" but don't like the responsibility of making the chioces . Being led has been a mixed bag so I just have to get over that.

Leveling enough solo is hard, I struggle to get to or past level 12-13 , and more fustrating when you fuck up on the final boss.

An unanswered lore question that I'd like to know... From Elden Ring

Anything about Melina, really. beyond confirmation that she's Marika's daughter we got nothing more on her in the dlc. Which was really disappointing. Where does she fit in the family timeline? Why is there not record of her being aknowledged by the public as Marika's offspring? Was she sort of hidden? How/when did she lose her body? Etc etc.

Not really relevant in terms of lore since we know the important stuff but, more on Messmer's life pre vanishment... More pre shattering family dynamic stuff im general, I live for that sort of stuff. :V
