Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

732 readers

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?

As someone who played DS2 before DS1, I didn't notice any of the problems you listed. I did notice that DS1 only lets you roll in 4 directions when locked on, though. I think DS1 veterans are most likely the biggest haters of DS2.

Edit: not to say the criticisms aren't valid for long-time players, but noobs like me seem less impacted
