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?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's your favourite piece of Soulslike merch? (lemmy.zip)

I'm on my way to finishing my recent Sekiro playthrough that I started on PC. Just got to Fountainhead and killed that lightning enemy that prevents you from going into the water and am currently on my way to [Redacted] to get the final necessary item for the true ending of the game. Might do another run after that where I go for the evil ending. >:]

I've got lots of merch actually, and it's hard to pick a favourite piece. None of it is official, but I have a few standouts. The hoodie in the thumbnail I got from my fiancée as a Christmas gift along with an awesome Hunter's Mark zip hoodie that she made herself in addition to a quite spooky Orphan of Kos shirt she got from the same site as the hoodie - will share pics soon. :)

Apart from that, in terms of clothing, I've got three Bloodborne shirts I got off Redbubble of Laurence, Gascoigne, and the Abhorrent Beast, as well as two Sekiro shirts that I love a lot. That should be it.

I also have a self-made brooch that looks like Sophia's brooch from Lies of P that a friend of ours made two of: one for her cosplay and another for my birthday a couple months ago. And my fiancée made me a lamp that looks like the roundtable hold table with iconic weapons from the game instead of the usual regular swords.

My favourite is probably the roundtable hold lamp. I use it every day whenever I sit at my desk and want a small light to give me comfort and not burn my eyes out. It's quite nice. Will have to get some rechargable batteries for it somewhere down the line, though, because it's on quite often and eats through batteries relatively quickly, I could imagine.

Enough bragging :P What do you got to show off?

Just finished Code Vein and enjoyed it. Might go back and get the different endings. I was unsure about the game, but I got 40 hours out of it for like $10 and it was pretty memorable with some good boss fights. The character customization goes pretty deep and I'm proud of my character, a little antler bee girl with giant... Zweihander

My only piece of soulslike merch is this Tunic plushie I received a few weeks ago. The sword and shield are magnetic. I have already accepted that once I get cat(s) the accessories will become their toys.

How does Code Vein stack up to your average soulslike? I haven't heard too much about it beyond the anime aesthetics. What's the gameplay like?

And that Tunic plush is so cute :)

Pretty well I'd say. The levels felt similar to Remnant 2. Combat, too. The class and "gift" system gives a lot of customizability that I didn't fully embrace due to bonk build, but I think there's a lot of replayability with different styles. Besides anime aesthetics it has a lot of story which you may love or hate. Most bosses were solid though it's possible to over-level or rely on your optional ally to make it too easy sometimes. Overall I'd give it around 7/10, definitely worth a play if it's on sale.
