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!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

It’s like when you take your time spent perfecting the most beautiful or handsome character in the character creator, you’ve actually thought it over and felt that this is the identity you want to play and be known as. Then it basically changes everything about it in the quest possible way and everyone knows you as this random thing generated for you and you can’t go back to the editor, because you never had a real choice of the random body you were given. Dysphoria isn’t just about gender, it’s about your identity. We can’t decide where we’ve come from but we can decide on where we’re going and how we move through life.
That's actually very to the point! So the comparison does work :)
