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?

Sorry for missing last weekend's post. I've got exams coming up and haven't been playing too much lately, so it just kinda slipped my mind.

I am yet to play any soulslikes right now. Don't have a lot of mental capacity for anything other than League of Legends.

I've been a console gamer ever since ~2017 when I bought my first console(s) and have been playing on them exclusively up until last year when I built myself a PC. Thus, until last year, I've only been playing soulslikes on PS4/5 and have enjoyed doing so as well. The games run well, it's comfy to play from the couch, and the games look nice too.

Ever since getting my PC, I have replayed Sekiro and Lies of P and have tried my hand at Another Crab's Treasure too. I'm not sure if my liking it more on PC has to do with my decreased tolerance towards console BS, but I think I prefer it over console. I have a better posture, I can do stuff on the side, the games I've played thus far work really well even with my very outdated rig (1080ti and very outdated mo-bo and CPU)... I don't even have much of an urge to go back to console even though I have a lot of soulslikes I still need to check off my list there (DS1-3, Nioh 1&2).

I don't know, I feel like the discontinuation of physical games on PlayStation is more of a cherry on top of all the other gripes I have with consoles as a whole. PS5 might very well be the last console I've bought. Especially since I'll be done with school soon and will have more of a disposable income, I'll try to put it towards upgrading my PC despite RAM-ageddon and the insane storage prices.

What are your thoughts on this?

I am likewise trying it out. I played Daughters of Ash for DS1 and the Convergence Mod for DS3 and... found them to be a mixed bag.

So far, it's nice to see stuff done with the ignored and rushed zones of the game. But so far they really went overboard overhauling some of the particularly good parts of the game.

yeah, what they did with castle morne was really cool, but the changes and additions to Stormveil seem more like they were made just for the sake of changing things.
