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.

DS1 has you revisiting the same areas a couple times to advance further, which can get players stuck and lost in areas they should have left early on, and then feel frustrated when they do finally have to revisit it.
DS1 is the game where really go from feeling like a wretched zombie in prison to being a veritable god. Poise chugging 14000 hp worth of estus is a thing available to you eventually.
It was kinda cool slapping on Havel's armor, not being able to run really and just tanking hits and smacking people around like little babies.
