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?

Dark Souls 2 is the best worst game ever.

It's not as good as DS1 or 3 in many ways. In some it is better.

But even if you consider it the worst in the series, it's still miles above a lot of other games. And it's even more amazing that it is still good with all the BS that happened in its development. They basically had to remake the entire game in like 5 or 6 months before release because of pressure from the publisher not liking what they had prior to the re-work. It also has the most content in the entire trilogy. Only Elden Ring is bigger with more stuff.

It's way better than Sneak King, for example.

Someone 'round here must love Sneak King.
