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.

Miyazaki has admitted that he uses every possible tool in the game because the game is balanced around using those tools.
Souls games are harder than most video games, but they're also not nearly as hard as doing anything in real life. People shitting on players using tools instead of the level 1 no-weapons no-hit sweat runs are losers through and through that think doing something intentionally difficult in the video game is greater than any particular real world endeavour.
