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.
I liked the visuals of Demon's Souls a lot and appreciate the level designs, but even though I managed to finish the game, I found the levels themselves a little too hard sometimes - especially the poison swamp levels. A little too much going on for how little is available to you, I feel like.
How about you?
I played all the Souls games but wasn't very interested in Bloodborne because I didn't want a PS4 or PS5 to play it on.
Then I found out you could run it in a PC emulator and played it and it was awesome. It's like turbo Dark Souls with a lot of werewolves.
Then I went back to Elden Ring and figured out how to play Bloodborne style and got even better at ER. I customized my character to use left hand Smithscript Dagger and Uchigatana with Bloodhound's Step AOW added for Elden-Borne mode. Elden Ring enemies are not fast enough to deal with Bloodhound/borne zip dodging. The throwing daggers (upgraded) also make a lot of the bullshit mobs less of a hassle to deal with.
