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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

A WARNING: Tunic is extremely spoiler-sensitive, and it's also very good. I recommend not reading much about it if you're interested.

Anyway, Tunic. Cool game that I played a couple of years ago. I was surprised to see several near-explicit Dark Souls references in it (the tearstone rings and bells of awakening, particularly) beyond just the more obvious gameplay similarities. Anyone else here tried it out?

The souls-like challenge of Tunic isn't the combat (except maybe the final boss) but the puzzles. Translating the runes without relying on the internet was gnar.

Also the only game I have gone from start to finish using the "keep yourself at super low health and use the RTSR to boost your damage" type build. Because that made it super easy.
