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?

Happy new year, guys! I hope had a nice celebration and could meet up with friends or family (offline or online) :).

Not sure if I'll be playing any soulslike this weekend. Finished my recent Sekiro playthrough a few days ago after first-trying the final boss (๐Ÿ˜Ž), and now I'm stuck playing League again D: Oh well.

New year - new soulslikes! What upcoming releases are you excited for? Nioh 3, Mortal Shell 2, Lords of the Fallen 2 (yikes)? Let us know!

I'm trying to 100% Dark Souls Remastered while there is a Return to Lothtic event (prefer doing covenants normally over farming from PvE). I coulda swore I already had done so, but that turned out to be the Switch version I got because my previous PC had died and I hadn't yet built the one I have now. It's not going well. I have absolutely NO frame of reference for what SL and weapon upgrade range for each area/boss will get me the most online activity like I do for every other game. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I am SL30 with a +10 weapon, and the only bosses I have available atm are S&O, and Sif (and I guess Pinwheel if you can count that joker as a boss.) I feel like the SL is too low but the weapon might be too high, since I had to pay for the last few levels worth of stones after consuming all the ones you csn find static in the world up to this point.

But also: They're making a Mortal Shell 2? I never could get past the rendering bug in the first one that makes it so all the enmies only start appearing when you're already up in their faces. I even got it on Playstation thinking it was a bug exclusive to PC and had the same issue.
