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?

once I’ve mastered how to dodge everything on the way and if it’s not too far of a distance.

It certainly was fun to perfect the sprint to the boss in a few Souls games.

I guess it just grew old with every Souls like doing it. Some games do it quite well but most are just annoying.

Demon’s Souls was probably the worst culprit for brutal runbacks of all the souls games I’ve played.

Even Dark Souls 1 is pretty bad by today's standards. Luckily it has gotten better with each release, with Elden Ring essentially spawning you right back in the fight.
