Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

782 readers

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?

My first Fromsoft game I ever completed and only the second souls like I ever played. My emotions are all over the place.

Congratulations! ๐ŸŽ‰

Did you try to fight the skeletons in the graveyard first?

What did you think of Blighttown? Did you enter through the depths or the other entrance?

Will you play another Fromsoft (or other souls like) game and if so which one interests you?

Thank you! And yes I did! It didn't end well :P but after getting a bit bored with the Undead Berg I went back and it went a little better. I found my pimp ass Zweihander and went to the Catacombs - then I promptly went back to the Undead Berg :P

I entered Blighttown through the Depths and I absolutely hated it. I got lost and poisoned and knocked off, but when I realized the path is more or less marked out for you by the tourches it became alot easier.

And yes I will, already installed DS2 and can't wait for when my daughters are put to bed tonight.

They got me at first too. It felt good going back to the Catacombs properly leveled.

Blighttown is an intimidating place but as you said once you see your path it makes more sense. Poison is a theme throughout these games. Youโ€™ll see it again down the road. :)

Enjoy your new adventure! โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ๐Ÿช„

Totally. The second time I went down there to reach the Demon Ruins it took maybe 5 mins to get to the bottom of it :p compared to hours on the first go :p
