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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I’m finishing a 3rd play through now after a few years since my last run and I have to ask… how is it so good?
Everything feels like it belongs in the world. The combat is insanely satisfying and there are so many build options.
I went Deprived and I’m using a dex build with Corvian Great Scythe. Went deprived so I can respec to any build without issue.
Yes, the world is what sets it apart for me, the lore is somehow better at world-building than the other two.
Every story is a tad bit more depressive, characters far gone, everything that one step more hopeless, the desperation more real, etc.
Also best cat, best hub, best hexes, ...
