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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I found it in my phone's gallery, probably from Reddit.

It's probably the Souls game I had most fun with and also the one with the most frustrating experiences. There's a lot to love there but I must admit a huge chunk of my enjoyment with DS2 came from playing it coop just with my partner, so she gets the credit. 😅

To be fair, coop with a friend can fix any game! But playing FromSoftware games in coop sounds funny, given how much focus is on loneliness in their games.

Reminds me of the olde classic video "Happy Souls" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kr7KDCsIws

I played the whole franchise with a friend and had a blast.

I believe "fun" and "good" are two different attributes, so both cats can be right.

Sums up the experience for just about any game that's being discussed on reddit for a long time

DS2 is the only souls game that hasn't "clicked" with me. I know it's not bad, but I've given it 5 tries over the years and I just don't enjoy it like the others.

Have you finished the game during those 5 tries? And what about the DLC?

Sometimes it takes time for the Stockholm syndrome to really kick in.
