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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.
Anything new you're picking up? Any playthroughs you're finishing?
I got nothing right now, guys. Been busy playing Disco Elysium this past month or so and now I'm moving on to Planescape Torment and other PC games. Nothing souls-related, tho.
What about you?
You might be best going back to Dark Souls Remastered. The gameplay is slower and more deliberate. A lot of the newer ones, Bloodborne included, require much better reflexes and reaction times. As much as I love the genre, I feel like I’m rapidly aging out of it as they get more and more like fighting games in their demands.
