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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] What's a soulslike you've been putting off for years but definitely (wink wink) want to play some time in the future? (lemmy.zip)

I've played through most of the soulslikes I put my mind to but I still haven't played/finished DS1/2.

I started a playthrough of DS1 and got to Quelaag but didn't actually fight her because I was cursed and wanted to cleanse it first - couldn't find my way back, unfortunately, and didn't want to look up guides lol. And now the save is gone, so I'll have to start over - ie. I probably won't play anytime soon :D

Haven't played DS2 yet because I wanted to play them in chronological order.

What about you?

Demon's Souls is great. I beat both the 2008 and PS5 versions. All the DS games are great. There is some DLC to get also. To me Wu Kong was like Sekiro. It was okay. Lies of P was good. Lords of the Fallen, the new version, is good (currently on NG+2). Bloodbourne was great also. I forgot to play tue DLC, so I bought it but stopped because Elden Ring came out. Elden Ring was good but I actually disliked the open worldness. It took too long to realize that an area was not just souls hard, but I had to come back later when I was stronger. Too much wandering around that is time-consuming. Still an absolutely wonderful game.

I think Bloodborne's best boss (which is also my personal favorite soulslike boss) is in the DLC! The whole dlc is so so good! This is your sign to go back to it... ^if^ ^you^ ^feel^ ^like^ ^it^ ^of^ ^course^

Sign taken to heart. I noticed I have only one thing to do in Lies of P to get platinum, so I'm going to do that and then go back to Bloodbourne.
