Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

1182 readers

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?

One of the central themes of Sekiro is, "nothing else matters except claiming victory" and still some soulsborne players are like "you're not a real player unless" insert whatever garbage challenge that is only achievable by cheesing every boss

Yup, very true. Elitism runs deep in the genre. I'm glad our community here is above that :)
