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?

Those 'blocks' are intentional, just go do something else and come back. I do not believe you have gotten to a point where there is literally nothing left to do but get past a basic enemy and you are physically incapable of doing so. If you don't have the reflexes or spacial awareness to even learn when to heal then I suspect you won't enjoy the game. If you want a relaxed experience then play a relaxed game.

Also if you read my comment, I literally didn't say 'git gud'. The devs don't owe anyone the most accessible game ever made, they didn't want to make it, so they didn't. It doesn't have to be perfect, it's okay for you to not play it.
