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?

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?

Many gamedevs have been designing their games with the expectation that players will reach out to others online for help in solving a part they find difficult. It's a way of bringing people together and keeping the game relevant. So if you feel you'll be having more fun searching for info online than discovering a game's many secrets on your own, go ahead. Just have fun and let others have fun as well.
