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'm currently finishing up Chapter 9 of Lies of P on my current run so I can go to the DLC again. Playing an Advance build, which I've never done before, and am looking forward to trying out the new Advance DLC weapons.
Silksong has been lain dormant for the past week. Didn't get much time to play because school started again and the stress kicked in full speed. :<
What are you playing? It's Spooktober and many are replaying Bloodborne right now. Are you?
I'm on my first run of Dark Souls II and coming from Dark Souls Remastered it's a very different experience. Parrying and backstabing feels harder? And losing health when dying is a tough pill to swallow (although now that I got the ring of binding it's way more bearable) so I'm still getting the hand of it. I find it funny how the pursuer actually pursues and ambush you when you least expect it. Also, I've just beaten Ornstein from ds1? How did he come back after being bonked by Smough's comically large hammer? I guess I'll find out later on
