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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] What's a soulslike you've been putting off for years but definitely (wink wink) want to play some time in the future? (lemmy.zip)

I've played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven't played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn't actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn't find my way back, unfortunately, and didn't want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I'll have to start over - ie. I probably won't play anytime soon :D

Haven't played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

It was personally that I just felt the movement and attacks were a bit more fluid than DS1. Bosses were just easier to me than stuff like O&S that I suffered with in the first dark souls. Still I love all entries and I don’t want to punish ds1 for being less refined in some ways than later entries 🫶🏼

Sounds logical and reasonable, thank you. I don't mind the combat rythm of Ds1, that said I played the remaster soooo... Take that into account. I find it charming, in a weird way ? I know for example a lot of people would like a bloodborne remaster, or a 60 fps update, but, to me it's good how it is, maybe is nostalgia as well.
