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?
I set up steam family share with a friend recently. He really just wanted the fromsoft catalog I have (like all of them; ds (1,2,&3), sekiro, armored core 6, and he already had elden ring which what got him into the souls genre in the first place) plus I got a decade plus of humble bundles. (Literally just hit 666 games a year ago, but fucked it up cause I wanted Hades during the summer sale)
I wasn't expecting anything in return cause of my obvious backlog. But he told he he bought avowed and I should check it out. It didn't hold me. But I got bored yesterday and started to check what was newly certified for the steam deck. I noticed I had the dead space remake, but I never bought it. It said it was a family member's. So I kept looking. I have all the new games available cause I guess all the family members get pooled?
I'm talking the new oblivion remaster, monster Hunter rise, cyberpunk phantom Liberty, and so much more! Including.... Wait for it... Lords of the fallen! I started downloading it like a half hour ago. I'm very excited! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
