Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

927 readers

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?

Happy new year, guys! I hope had a nice celebration and could meet up with friends or family (offline or online) :).

Not sure if I'll be playing any soulslike this weekend. Finished my recent Sekiro playthrough a few days ago after first-trying the final boss (๐Ÿ˜Ž), and now I'm stuck playing League again D: Oh well.

New year - new soulslikes! What upcoming releases are you excited for? Nioh 3, Mortal Shell 2, Lords of the Fallen 2 (yikes)? Let us know!

I'm replaying DS2 as a pyromancer. There isn't actually a starting class for it though, so I rushed to grab the pyro hand and am trying to keep it legit.

There aren't really any soulslikes I'm looking forward to. Code Vein 2 is coming this month, but I won't play it until it's on sale, maybe 1-2 years from now. More likely I'm going to play some old ones that are on the radar as they go on sale. Everything else is kind of looking the same to me, too flashy and expensive.
