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?

Some people just can’t let others have fun. Difficulty options don’t have to be used if you don’t want to. Just crank the difficulty up to 11 and tell everyone how badass you are. Or just play the game like the rest of us and quit bitching.

If you can’t stop yourself from lowering the difficulty because you got sad from the boss beating you that’s a you problem not a game problem.

Yes exactly! I'm one of those people who can't help lowering the difficulty given the choice, even though I know I'll enjoy the game more if I keep at it, but that's a me problem. I prefer games with a good normal mode and more organic difficulty settings, but I certainly don't think that's what every game should be like
