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.

Maybe Sekiro - I stopped at a certain boss because it's hard and the runback is annoying. Sad to say I'm not enjoying this game as much as I had hoped, but I do understand why some people love it.
DS2 - trying to finish my first SL1 run. I'm at Throne Watcher/Defender which I knew would be an obstacle, and I was right. It's funny how the rest of the game's easier bosses became difficult at SL1, and the moderate difficulty ones are about the same difficulty as playing a levelled character. Enjoying the different perspective it's giving me.
Tails of Iron - I think I'm in the late game. Having lots of fun with this and will definitely be checking out the sequel eventually.
Oh wow. Someone else who plays that. ๐
Seems like it's pretty underrated. I really like the combat system and how forgiving they made parrying. Feels great to master the boss fights. Have you played 2, "Whiskers of Winter"?
I didn't even realize there was a sequel until now.
