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?

I'm on my way to finishing my recent Sekiro playthrough that I started on PC. Just got to Fountainhead and killed that lightning enemy that prevents you from going into the water and am currently on my way to [Redacted] to get the final necessary item for the true ending of the game. Might do another run after that where I go for the evil ending. >:]

I've got lots of merch actually, and it's hard to pick a favourite piece. None of it is official, but I have a few standouts. The hoodie in the thumbnail I got from my fiancée as a Christmas gift along with an awesome Hunter's Mark zip hoodie that she made herself in addition to a quite spooky Orphan of Kos shirt she got from the same site as the hoodie - will share pics soon. :)

Apart from that, in terms of clothing, I've got three Bloodborne shirts I got off Redbubble of Laurence, Gascoigne, and the Abhorrent Beast, as well as two Sekiro shirts that I love a lot. That should be it.

I also have a self-made brooch that looks like Sophia's brooch from Lies of P that a friend of ours made two of: one for her cosplay and another for my birthday a couple months ago. And my fiancée made me a lamp that looks like the roundtable hold table with iconic weapons from the game instead of the usual regular swords.

My favourite is probably the roundtable hold lamp. I use it every day whenever I sit at my desk and want a small light to give me comfort and not burn my eyes out. It's quite nice. Will have to get some rechargable batteries for it somewhere down the line, though, because it's on quite often and eats through batteries relatively quickly, I could imagine.

Enough bragging :P What do you got to show off?

I've been a pc gamer for the past 13 years, but decides to get a ps5 to play some exclusive ps4 and ps5 games as well as have some physical copies of games I really enjoy. I picked up all the Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Bloodborne today and have started playing Bloodborne for the first time and it seems pretty neat! I love gothic and lovecraftian horror, so this is hitting a sweet spot. Shame the framerate and resolution are relatively subpar.

I don't really have any cool soulslike merch, but the copies of Dark Souls III and Bloodborne I got came in generic cases, but I managed to find some custom cases online to replace them with. Looking forward to having them on my little blossoming game shelf.

You're in for a treat - enjoy!

You gotta share the custom cases, dude!

Wasn't sure what the rules are for linking to that type of stuff is here, so the powers that be can remove this if it's against the rules. Worth mentioning I have no affiliation with these sellers or anything like that.

Bloodborne custom case - big fan of the PS1 aesthetic

Dark Souls III custom case - it looks alright, nothing too special, but still cool

No rules concerning that, so just share away :)

These look awesome! Love the PS1 aesthetic too. I'd buy the Bloodborne PS1 demake on CD in that jewel case if it existed :D

Oh man enjoy Bloodborne, that first playthrough is so excellent in so many ways
