Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

721 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?

I've pretty much dodged everything about the game - story, gameplay, art direction, trailers - so I know barely anything about the game. Some people seem to be praising it quite a bit for its more "classic" soulslike approach and have been comparing it to DS1 even.

How do you like it so far? Is the comparison to DS1 sound?

Ign has been paid to give good reviews for a long time now. Means you have to subtract at least 2 from most of their scores to set appropriate expectations.
