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?

Bold of you to assume they actually tell you God exists until 2/3 into the game

To be fair there are people playing with mouse and keyboard. Speedrunning, even.

I tried the first game. I could not open the first closed door with keyboard and mouse 5 minutes in.

Dark Souls is actually pretty hilarious underneath the dark setting and atmosphere.
