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?

Sekiro is the best because it has very few item descriptions, forcing the developers to just tell you the story for once, and it's kind of refreshing.

Also the sound feedback you get makes dopamine go brrrr

My current research indicates that prolonged exposure to successful parry sound fxs may be a viable treatment for depression. Further testing will be conducted.

Sekiro is the best fromsoft game because of the tentacle sex scene between Sekiro and the shit flinging gorilla.

lol, Sekiro is not the hardest FromSoft game (at least in my opinion I will admit).

I find it the most difficult because I am trash at parrying in pretty much any game.
