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.

Tough. Champion Gundyr maybe? I love the flow of that fight. Tough, but not too hard. Nice rhythm. Feels fair. You can parry him, but you don't have to.
Either him, Soul of Cinder or Dancer. For similar reasons on all of them. I've said it before but I prefer bosses in that Goldilocks zone of challenging but not too hard.
I hate dancer with all my soul. Never got so pissed at boss this much
Oh yea, I get your sentiment on difficulty. From an absolute cinema POV, Khazan's or Sekiro's final bosses can barely be surpassed for me, but even though the latter has become pretty easy for me, the former was just infuriatingly difficult for me. I contemplated just quitting the game right then and there
Yeah I still have yet to attempt either of those, for good reason. I am not confident I will be able to beat them and I would prefer not to have to give up on a game at this point in my life. And I am not keen on spending days and days grinding a single boss anymore, those days may just be behind me.
Though I might have painted myself into a corner where I'm forced to try Sekiro at some point anyway. We'll see...
Khazan, luckily, has difficulty options. No shame in making use of that. The game will still be plenty difficult :D
Sekiro definitely is a tough nut to crack, tho. I suspect you still might have to give it a shot sometime 👀
