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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[News] Hollow Knight: Silksong Difficulty to Be Toned Down Following Player Feedback (www.pushsquare.com)

However, some have criticised Silksong for being a bit too punishing, as its typically faster pace pushes you to be even more focused.

In particular, the title's tricky opening hours have been catching some players off guard, and that's what Team Cherry's looking to address via the game's upcoming patch.

It'll feature a "slight difficulty reduction in early game bosses Moorwing and Sister Splinter".

I haven't kept up with news about the game. Is the game that difficult compared to Hollow Knight?

This is not the problem. The boss fights are actually a pretty good difficulty. The issue largely comes from the large amount of enemies that hit for 2, the AI of flying enemies, and the increase in gauntlet fights.

The beginning areas of the game are equivalent to Hollow Knight's mid game. It's noticeably harder, but not to the point where I would want a big patch. I wouldn't hate an "easy mode" addition to make the game more accessible though

I got pummeled so hard by the Craw Lake gauntlet with its awful erratic flying enemies that by the time I beat it I had finger blisters. XD

I wouldn't mind it if they toned down the gauntlets a little.

Got there this weekend. Took many attempts to beat it, but I did! The bouncing challenge after that though... -.-

Me too, buddy.

I ended up abandoning that fight after ~10 attempts and plan to come back after I have a little more playtime under my belt.
