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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

It's like the devs played Nioh and were like: "Damn this is what we've been missing all along!"
For those that haven't done Nioh: They put in a ridiculous hard first boss. Then go like LMAO that was just the tutorial bitch, after which they put the actual first boss and it's rough.
The first boss in Nioh is only hard until you realize that you can block almost anything. Coming from Soulslikes, it took fighting him to stop trying to dodge everything. Once I figured that out, it only took me like two attempts to beat him. He only has one attack that's really threatening.
