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?

Gave the demo another shot after a short on YT by Video Game Closet (awesome channel - definitely check them out) and honestly:I liked it quite a bit! The story seemed a little generic so far, but who plays soulslikes for their story anyways, right? I liked the idea of skill trees for the different weapon types, some changes to the combat added a nice freshness which I kinda miss in From's games, and yeaa kinda went two days straight thinking about buying the game, so I did. :D

Looking forward to my time with it!

There's a demo for Khazan on the US PS Store for sure though, isn't there?

Or am I missing something?

And yea, for sure. It's awesome that there finally are demos for games on PS5. I'd use them on the 3DS and PS4 quite often, and it helped decide which are games are worth picking up.

Yea I was in the same boat as you. The demo was convincing enough for me to get the game, in the end. Quite surprised at that too because I was a little turned off by the demo at first. Just didn't really vibe it too much. Maybe watch some gameplay and see if it's up your alley?

Oh cool, I'm just stupid.

It didn't appear when I search the name and demo. But I just tried looking via Mobile app.

Thanks for the help.
