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.

It does feel awfully abrupt, doesn't it? I generally explain it to myself as that Sellen really did succeed in taking control simply because Rennala was too broken to meaningfully fight back, but she gazed a bit long into the abyss and got graven massed. When the rest of Raya Lucaria saw what happened to her they then collectively said "welp guess we were right to ban that primeval current nonsense, lets just pretend none of this ever happened"
It really could have done with an intermediate stage where Rennala is visibly imprisoned somewhere, Lusat and Azur actually are moved to the academy, and Sellen begins to show signs of turning into something else
