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?

I said this ad nauseum but DS2 is the perfect candidate for a remake. The game has many small issues that pile on but are easily fixable if they ever decide to go back and fix them.

Remove the agility mechanic, fix hitboxes, scale back enemy placements in some areas and the game would be already 10x better.

I'm quite sure they did something about the hitboxes already at some point. I replayed Scholar, and at least the ~~Seducer~~ Pursuer does not teleport you on his sword anymore.

DS1 was way worse in that regard anyway if you ask me. The greater problem I see with DS2 is that many bosses are way too easy. There are really hard ones, especially in the DLCs, but way too many hardly fight back, even deep into the game
