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!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

I cannot beat Roland in Another Crabs Treasure and I'm tired of trying to grind / learn new builds to beat him. I tried even cheesing him with a wall clip bug that's probably patched now. I am just tired of it.

I haven't finished ER, I am savoring it, not done, just pausing for a bit

I never finished Sekiro for the same reason as ACT, I keep getting to the drunken house fire boss and getting my ass whooped. I want to try it again sometime, give it another go. I'm pretty sure this will be my 4th attempt to start over.

If by drunken house fire boss you mean ishin, that's an optional early endgame and not advised for a first play through.

If you mean big ol heavy dude with the big ass sword and vomit, go to the temple and practice jumping counters

Do it... use the gun...
