Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

828 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?

I also paid my dues in the NES era but i’d like my brain to not be mush when i’m old so i’ll continue to play harder games to stretch my brain muscles. Just like exercising, if you don’t use it, you lose it.

Twitch reflexes aren't the only way you use your brain to play games.

Yeah NES games weren't exactly brainy as opposed to "make this series of button mashes go into your muscle memory".
