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?

The one directly in your path to the balcony often loses to the most dangerous force in all of Dark Souls: Gravity.

I'm pretty sure I used Hidden Body the first time and felt like a genius.

Subsequent attempts I got better at the "run run run run dodge, dodge, PARRY" and felt like a god when I pulled it off. Also fun is when you don't do enough damage to kill them with one parry-riposte, so you have to parry them a second time on the ledge.

Oh, those fine lads. Last playthrough, I'd got to them without dying. Died about nine times in a row to them. Died once more to Seath like you're meant to. Finished with about 90% of my run deaths just to those two. Grr.
