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?

I like what hollow knight did.

You find out you're just the latest incarnation of the hollow knight, and you have to fight the last one

Your spoiler tag didn't work fyi

They're also wrong. Hollow knight actually has very flushed lore and there is nothing cyclical in the ending (even the basic one is just a correction of an imperfection).

Would it be a soulslike if the obvious surface reading wasn't wrong/missed the depth of the lore?
