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!

[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?

First of all, I never google, I duck duck go things, or on rare occasions I might even Bing them.

Second, I only do it if I've already beaten the game and am looking for things I missed. Otherwise its an absolute last resort if I'm really super stuck and think I would completely bail on the game because of it. I still hate doing that, its nearly impossible to get the specific answer without seeing spoilers for other things.
