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.

I quite like dark souls 2. I don't think it's objectively the best, but it keeps me coming back and it's interesting. I've played so much dark souls 1 I can't play it anymore, dark souls 3 never really was my cup of tea and wasn't incredibly long to begin with. Elden ring is great, but the time commitment to a playthrough is kind of off-putting.
Dark souls 2 seems like it's the weird one that accidentally got a lot of stuff right to maintain a slow burn of interest from me over the years.
