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?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's the saddest boss fight in a Soulslike? (lemmy.zip)

My internal clock has been utterly derailed by having finished school last week, so I didn't even notice that it's Friday again lol. I don't have any soulslikes on my plate right now - sounding like a broken record at this point - but I've been thinking about trying to get a PS4 emulator running on my PC to give Bloodborne another go. It's been way too long since I've last played it.

I'm not sure if it's the saddest boss in a soulslike, but Romeo from Lies of P is definitely up there. The second playthrough recontextualises many boss fights and this one was just gut wrenching.

What's your pick?

Father Gascoigne

Gascoigne and his whole family form such a tragic story. It still hits me in my heart every time…

Also, wtf, how could I forget Father G. when I wrote my comment, and how has no one before you mentioned him? He is such an obvious answer to the question, and many of the commenters, myself included, are massive Bloodborne fans.

Celebrating after a Level 1 run with a high damage run is always fun :)

After I did my SL1 run in Elden Ring, I did an Int/Faith run with the OP ^Sword^ ^of^ ^Night^ ^and^ ^Flame^ and so many busted spells, and I had a blast.

Congrats on beating your SL1 run, and have fun with your Meat Cleaver run.
