Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

782 readers
57 users here now

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?

Nah, it's absolutely valid you bring this up. Part of the appeal of Lemmy was/is that we're doing things different to reddit. So finding that a community is copying content off reddit can be disappointing or confusing - I absolutely get that.

That's part of the reason this community is for soulslikes of all kinds and not tied a specific franchise. That way, it's easier to have stuff to talk about with new releases encouraging new topics and discussions. Of course, most people are into the FS titles first and foremost so it makes sense to serve that audience to an extent. But there are limits, of course.

That's awesome to hear - glad to have you here. But again I have to stress that you're not obligated to post anything. A comment here and there is sufficient and even that is not required. You checking out the posts is enough already :)
