Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

726 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?

You're gonna have to get back to Hollow Knight at some point. Maybe read a few guides for the specific place you're stuck in currently. It's kind of part of the experience to get lost, but I know from personal experience that it gets a little frustrating if you have no clue where to go

Yeah, it was otherwise good so far. Maybe it's just me, but getting lost drives me nuts. Exploring is one thing, but aimlessly wandering and not feeling like it's making any progression really gets on my nerves.

You're not alone. If it's really too much for you, I'd recommend modding to get more access to the map. There's a mod that'll give you access to the map for free, instead of making you savrifice a charm slot to it, and there's one that'll just reveal the entire map up-front. I know folks who have been able to enjoy the game that way.
