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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

Tough bosses ruining the end of a game are a pet peeve of mine. Thankfully I've suffered enough Soulslikes that ER wasnt too bad for me (Sekiro on the other hand...)
Danni's quest isn't so obscure, but it is a little more hidden than just rushing to the Erdtree and fighting the boss as directly as possible. I think that she's the most compelling (and best written) character in the game, which probably contributes a lot to her ending being more popular. She helps you early game, obviously has her own agenda but doesn't really act like she doesn't, which pulls off the fun trick of making the character both mysterious yet also trustworthy.
Welp I started Sekiro today. Verrry different playstyle. I got gakked by the second mini boss like 15 times. Im now at a giant and heβs kicking my ass. I went back into the past after finding a lady and got fire, but that only seems to stun him for a couple seconds.
Neat game.
I almost started Sekiro today, but I felt too sleepy. I really need to play it. I own every souls game except Bloodborne now and really need to branch out hahaha
I bought my PS5 specifically because I needed BB and DsS π€£
