Really looking forward to both the upcoming DLC and the teased sequel.
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.

Lies of P is my favorite soulslike that isn't made by Fromsoft. It has its own faults, but nothing major and it is, by far, the closest in tone, style and feeling to what made the genre huge. I hope it gets some dlc or a sequel.
It has DLC releasing this summer! Lies of P: Overture
This game is fantastic. I really loved the story and gameplay. Truly a unique experience.
It’s amazing to me how a very obvious clone is actually an incredible game in and of itself. It actually improves on bloodborne gameplay-wise in a lot of ways IMO. The parries are tight but very learnable, and definitely worth learning. The story is interesting enough, though the voice acting in certain places is kinda meh (I’m looking at you Gemini). While it recycles a lot of mechanics it also introduces many new ones which could be considered overwhelming if they weren’t introduced at the excellent pace that they were.
Wow thus turned out longer than I planned, all that’s to say my expectations were very low coming in (since clones are typically a cheap attempt at riding on another game’s success), but I now think even coming in with high expectations I definitely would not have been disappointed.
I like it so far, but the weight system seems unbalanced to me, making a fastroll hard to achieve and boss amulets less desirable to use.
I like the "customizable" weapons and the rechargeable elemental buff the game gives you.
