Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

704 readers

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?

Have yet to go back to ER after getting the platinum a few months after launch.

It’s just not as replayable or fun to have to grind through the open world just to find the stuff for your build off the wiki because who remembers where that one talisman is.

I remember where most stuff is. Been playing a lot, trying different builds etc. Ofc some of the open world is a bit tedious to run through again but the freedom it gives is nice. There's some shortcuts here and there to make it quicker to get around.

I think it's more fun to go back and stumble through not knowing where stuff from my build is located. First souls game you play is always the hardest, so stumbling through seems like a fair enough handicap.
