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.

Ok, but I think the "enemies deal too much damage" complaint is a fair one here. In the first game double damage was rare and special, but in this one they just handed it out to basically everything. Kinda makes the first mask upgrade feel kinda pointless since going from 5 masks to 6 still leaves you dying in three hits to every boss.
For me it's the parkour with the diagonal down attack plus environment dealing double damage too for some reason. Thank god after a while you can change the down attack.
I had some issues with the diagonal parkour as well but it was mostly because I was trying out the controller. I noticed that a lot of the time you need to hold down to dash diagonally and then continue holding left/right after dashing. But on keyboard I can just hold down + right at once and press the dash key when I'm in the correct position, much simpler. After that it became almost natural.
