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!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Demon's Souls is the source of Souls-like, not Dark Souls.

Also, as an aside the "-like" genre titles kinda suck. Sucked with Doom-like, sucks with Souls-like, and also with Rogue-like.

I like soulsborne, it'd probably be more used if they ever come out with the Bloodborne remake. Aaaannny day now.....
