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?

Disregarding lack of time, that is. Is there any particular mechanic you were not fond of? Was a game too difficult for you? Was it the overall enjoyment of the game?

Pic totally unrelated :]

Lords of the Fallen (remake) just felt a little too floaty to me. I might have ended up liking the game if I gave it more of a shot, but the very first boss was enough for me already. Maybe I'll get back to it at some point, but I doubt it

I think the whole area should have been scrapped from the game tbh... but why don't they just close the entrace??

You really have to go through a lot of difficult stuff to get to the tomb of the giants, and once you enter it's a large difficulty spike. That difficulty spike really is intended to encourage you to leave and come back at a later time. It has it's issues, but when you come back prepared (and with a light source of some kind), it really does have a lot to offer as an area.

It's not difficult to get to at all. The entrance is right behind the first shrine

Navigating down the catacombs is hardly an easy thing to do early in the game, and is full of traps and enemies that come back to life. It's not a linear game, so sometimes you wander into areas that are too tough for you, you just have to leave and try again later.
