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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Me, going left for a good 3 hours at the start of DS1, not realizing there's a path to the Undead Burg: "Wow, these skeletons are really tough, I guess Dark Souls really is hard"
Exactly the same thing happened to me in DS1, went down to the skeletons and got my ass handed to me.
Stopped playing until a few years later I was talking with a friend about Dark Souls and told him that I stopped at the skeletons under the graveyard. Binged through the entire game shortly after once he told me I need to take the mountain route.
You take the good with the bad, I guess
I actually had great fun doing it, but I was getting a little frustrated by the time I said "Dammit, am I missing something? I need to look up if there's a better weapon or something nearby"
Whoops!
