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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

as ragebaity as it may be, some of this strikes true, I feel like. it's cool that item descriptions explain the lore, for example, but I personally have not engaged with them too much when I had the choice. and on paper, the combat is not all too flashy. It's methodical, calculated, but overall, it's "just" attacking and dodging.

This is actually hilarious— this is exactly what it sounds like when I try to describe Dark Souls games to other people… it’s so hard to capture what’s so special about these games but they really are special.
