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?

I'm going to nominate the fat godskins from Elden Ring as being the least fun boss to fight in their entire oeuvre. Instant belly slam attack with no wind-up that's impossible to shield or dodge, followed by a fifteen- to twenty-minute rolling attack. Seems to be designed to either force you to engage with crafting to make sleep items, or just to grind like hell to be ridiculously over-levelled. And then one rocks up with his skinny mate, to make the worst dual-boss ever. Makes twin dragonriders look like a masterpiece.
