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?

It's probably a toss-up between Lies of P and Sekiro for me. Sekiro was the game I had previously played a lot of over several playthroughs and a platinum trophy. Primarily because of the gameplay being superb and exactly up my alley.

However, Lies of P might beat Sekiro in terms of playthroughs by now. I've played on PS4, PS5 and PC, platinum trophy included, at more than 100h in total. Firstly, of course, because of the gameplay, and secondly because of the theme and story of the game.

What about you?

Sekiro, because it's the only one I managed to finish twice. I have second play-throughs on Bloodborne, DS3 and hollow knight, but didn't finish any of them due to difficulty.

I didn't know hollow knight had ng+ :O still haven't finished my first run but good to know!

Sorry, there is no ng+, there's a boss rush arena with harder combat though.

I just made a fresh profile because I wanted to explore the world again, and never bothered to defeat the final boss.
