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?

Very nice! I put it down when I got stuck on the fire giant years ago and just never got around to coming back. Maybe someday.

Highly recommend finishing it. The final hours of the game are some of the best :)

Started it a couple days ago :)

Awesome! What ending did you choose? And what's your favourite weapon/spell/incantation/whatever you used the most? :)

[–] 98vesselsreptile@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Age of Fracture. Tbh I should have given more thought to the ending. I just immediately touched the fractured marika after beating the Elden Beast.

Lightning Spear was by far my most used incantation. Never stopped being good Blessing of the Erdtree, Golden Vow for every boss fight or difficult enemy section

Really liked Scarlet Aeonia in the late game after beating Malenia

Started playing twice. Never completed all of it. Maybe it is time for a third run soon. Third time is a charm :)

You can do it! I looked up a lot of stuff online for help (useful spells, spirit ashes, etc). Couldn't have done it without that

You're pretty good. 🫵😎

Great job! What was your favorite part?

[–] 98vesselsreptile@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Man it's hard to pick just one. But honestly I will say whenever I entered a new area for the first time. The game just keep blowing me away. One of the most visually pleasing games I've ever played
