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?

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 just beat Lies of P for the first time. Chose the wrong ending and let Gepetto make me a real boy. Without spoiling, some stuff happens that I'm not happy about but most of all by siding with him I skipped the actual final boss and can't go back to fight him.

I'll probably do a NG+ but I bought Silksong day one and haven't touched it yet and I've been putting off the Elden Ring DLC for far too long.

Did anybody else think Lies of P was fairly easy compared to most, the general enemies were not hard after you've killed like 3 and learn their moves. The bosses were interesting but I usually used the specter after my first death to a boss and I don't think it took me more than 5 attempts for any of the bosses.

I agree, base game bosses are easier to learn, they don't gave that many moves compared to FS bosses. Dlc bosses harder, but not by that much untill the very end... holy fuck final boss is a tough fight. Regardless of difficulty it's such a fun and well crafted game, combat is super satisfying and the story has more depth than I expected going in. I loved my time with it.

I actually struggled quite a bit with many of the bosses, and that's after getting a platinum trophy for Bloodborne and Sekiro. Good on you!

Lies of P had some challenge but it certainly is not as hard as Fromsoft games. Swamp boss and the armored lightning lady gave me some trouble. I did the same thing with the ending, and woo buddy that true boss on new game plus was pretty rough. The DLC is a much steeper challenge overall, and is well made. If you liked the main game then the DLC is a good time, I enjoyed a lot of the new weapons in it too.
