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?

There's lots of motivations to replay any game: the gameplay, the story, completionism, a feeling of home.

For me it's usually gameplay first but closely followed by completionism, actually. I adore the gameplay of Sekiro, Bloodborne, Lies of P and Khazan, and that was usually the driving factor for me to replay the game. However, I am a bit of a completionist, so it's also alluring to me to have a platinum trophy in my collection to be fully "done" with a game.

What about you?

I'm currently playing Demons souls remaster for the first time having started with the original back in the PS3 days. It looks how I remember it but has some lovely quality of life upgrades (hold down to select the first thing in your hotbar). It's almost a comfort game for me at this point. It's by far the easiest souls game, shields are OP in this and tanking behind one will see you through most things. Level ups all increase defence and soul farming is easy to do.

I've had a similar thing happen to me when I played Diablo 2 Resurrected. It obviously looks a lot better and modern than its 20-year old first rendition, but I swear the game looked back then like it does in the remake
