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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and you have to delete a FromSoft game forever - which do you choose? (europe.pub)

Controversial opinion, but I'd probably pick Dark Souls 1. It's the one I'm most disinterested to play. DS2 is the outsider and has earned its accolades via that alone, plus it's the most experimental DS game, which is cool. DS3 has fun world building and good combat, or rather my preferred speed, so it beats DS1 in that regard too. DS1 wasn't particularly fun to play for me in comparison.

The others are one-ofs and have all brought something truly unique to their catalogue, culminating in ER which is arguably, next to DS1 maybe, the most influential Soulslike in existence.

What's your take?

I'd have to pick sekiro to delete. Not that I don't love it, but I'm too attached to all the mainline souls games. Also it doesn't have pvp and I'm a little invasion gremlin.

That and if we delete dark souls 1 we wont be able to play the remastest edition with bonus halo content and this hurts my heart.
