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.

The second half of DS1 is notoriously underdeveloped and not liked by most fans. It's still ok probably but definitely not as good as the first half. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.
On a different note, I also don't vibe with DS as a whole too much, myself. Platinumed Bloodborne and Sekiro, Elden Ring was ok, Lies of P might just be my favourite among soulslikes, Last Berserker Khazan was also awesome... DS just feels a little too slow for my taste. So maybe you don't vibe with that slower, more methodical style of gameplay?
Yeah, that's probably it honestly. I'm gonna check out Lies of P I've heard a lot of people say good things about it.
It's amazing. It's a good blend of Bloodborne and Sekiro with more direct storytelling and beautiful visuals plus atmosphere. Some bosses can be a little tough to crack at first but most are good
