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.
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 loved sekiro tbh and I'm sorry to hear your experience with it. It's definitely not a game for everyone.
Like another commentor said I wish I could play it for the first time again. It broke my dodge only habit and when I returned to other fs games I can now parry like no one's business and it's breathed new life into my play styles. It also made for a fun time through expedition 33 for the parry mechanic.
I just said almost the same. But expedition 33 kinda lost me with option paralysis on the skills and the punishment for missing a parry. And that was on normal. The first optional boss you come across literally one hit KOs you. It took me three or four tries, but I powered through. But that lantern boss fucking broke me! Turned it to easy and it was way too easy. And it was like I was playing with cheat codes and I lost interest. Wish it had something in between 1hitKOs and immortality.
