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?

On my last playthrough, I actually killed the bull the legitimate way, but I just can't be bothered to with DoH. It's not a bad fight per se, but it just doesn't really fit Sekiro, imo, and is a little tedious. I've heard of people oftentimes saying that DoH would fit Bloodborne a lot more. Wouldn't mind him there tbh

Totally see what you mean! Those fights throw you for a loop because you wouldn't expect them in the context Sekiro provides.

Oh yea, I'm not too fond of their overusage of certain bosses. For some reason, I struggle a lot with the first drunkard in the Hirata Estate because of all the enemies nearby you have to kill first. The second time you fight one and have a Lone Shadow (?) tag along in the fight, I'm just done, man, lol. It's more manageable overall, but it still took me waay too long for such a rather simple boss.
