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.

Yea, 9 Sols is like a mix between Sekiro and Hollow Knight. Not sure how much of a Metroidvania it is, but it's a sidescroller at least and reminds you of Sekiro with its combat. The story is apparently pretty good too.
Also don't vibe with Elden Ring too much. Closest you'd to Sekiro is the Reflecting Hardtear, or whatever it's called, that kinda allows you to deflect like in Sekiro but not really.
My fiancée and I have got two save files with a combined total of like 300h+, but despite that I'm not the biggest fan. I appreciate the game and what it did for the genre, but I prefer others.
