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?

Not really, if I ever manage to pry myself away from Space Station 14 to try anything different, which one of the Souls games would you recommend most?

If you've played Sekiro and are somewhat familiar and comfortable with the playstyle, Lies of P could be up your alley. It's a perfect blend of Sekiro and Bloodborne and is lots of fun.

Apart from that, depending on how much you care about level design and world building, you could go for Dark Souls 3 vs 1, for example. 3 is still a Dark Souls game, but it's lighter on interconnectedness compared to 1 but feels a little more modern in terms of gameplay.

Lies of P looks interesting, I watched someone play it at a party and it looked neat!
