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

DS2 is definitely my favorite. I liked the world's concept much more than the castles that are just terribly designed in 1 & 3. 3 was also built up too much as 'such an amazing game!' by my friends who convinced me to get into the big boss bashers in the first time, and it just felt like the story dragged too much along the same lines as the first.
I think, seeing as I started with elden ring and then moved through 1->2->3, that some of the game's choices, like certain enemies eventually not respawning, just felt so strange. That and what felt like a much slower combat pace.
