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?

What's a good soulslike for someone that hates melee besides the Remnant series? (lemmy.world)

Remnant: From the Ashes was my first dive into a soulslike game and I fell in love with the grind of it, then followed up with playing Remnant 2.

But I hate Melee combat and it seems soulslikes are usually focused on it.

Is there any that focus on ranged combat or have viable builds for ranged?

Thanks!

Bows are also viable.

Do not fall for this, OP

They absolutely can be. Ofc for ranged sorcery/pyromancy/miracles/incantation are way better but you can absolutely deal good damage with bows

DSIII/ER magic feels like

That completely depends on what spells you use though, there's a good amount of quicker ones
