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?

What is your stance on googling things? (lemmy.zip)

I frequently find myself debating whether to google an item's location or side quest steps. A lot of times, I try to avoid it as long as I can until I eventually give in after exploring an area for hours. But I always feel a little guilty after. But then I'm like, these games are so damn cryptic, I'd have to spend the rest of my life uncovering all the secrets without google.

Thoughts?

Funny because I was pondering on the same dilemma with Silksong lately.

I like to try to find stuff and discover things on my own. I love the feeling of going blind in a game and googling stuff often leads to you being spoiled some aspects of the game. However, when I spend 2 hours finding nothing new and reexploring three times the whole map without anything coming up, that's when I google stuff. Even then though I will keep it as short as possible as to continue the rest on my own.
