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.

How'd it go! I was out star gazing so I didn't catch this sooner
It’s just so cool to slowly work out how to beat these bosses, then backslide and still stick with it, then to finally break through and defeat them…big yell when I won!! And it’s just so gorgeous and fighting larger than life enemies and the music. And I’m barely started!!
See anything fun in the stars?
Hell yeah, I am glad you enjoyed it! Souls games are my favorite for exactly that reason. If you are a fan of platformers I really recommend hollowknight.
I'm out in the desert so it was genuinely the most full sky I had ever seen. Moonless as well so it was quite bright; I didn't realize how blue the stars could be. Granted I was on mushrooms so the color may have been influenced by that. Either way I spent a few hours finding constellations and when I was peaking looked at the orion nebula. Truly stunning, never seen anything like that in person. 10/10 would do again
sounds like a wonderful evening! so fun to be awestruck and enchanted by the universe while on mushrooms.
i picked up hollow knight on sale a while ago and am excited to play it too. thx for the rec!!
Hell yeah! (ง’̀-‘́)ง
