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 have not... Yet. But I have an addictive/ hyper focus type of personality and the gameplay loop of soulslikes has me all fucked up. Even when I'm being shit I keep coming back for more, I can't help it.
My tolerance for the more character and story driven rpgs has decreased significantly because of this. So I'm currently on a quest to play other types of games again and ENJOY them. Sometimes it feels like a chore tbh.
I haven't played through all the FS catalog so maybe my nemesis is out there still, (sekiro still scares me a bit) but we'll see.
