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.

I haven't even finished Hollow Knight. I also just... Don't really care that much for the 2D platformer genre. Love metroidvanias; just wish more were 3D. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
So you're rather into the 3D Metroid games then? Which one is your favourite, if you do play them?
Outside of souls games--which IDK how many people would consider to be the same even though they mostly are but you just get keys or triggers to open alternate areas instead of some kind of tool/power progression--the only true Metroidvania series in full 3D I can name off the top of my head is Metroid Prime.
