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!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

DS3, ashes of ariandel. I’d gotten invaded and brutalized a couple times in/around the bug basement and had no clue where I was supposed to go. Another invader showed up after I’d cleared a lot of the area; not wanting to lose my progress again, I branched into a box and hid for a couple minutes waiting for him to get bored. He sprinted straight past me a couple times before stopping near where I was hiding. I was sick of coward gaming by this point so appeared and approached him. He gestured for me to follow, so I did, since we were in a horrible place for a fight. Instead of going to a good arena, he took me downstairs and pointed at the lever to progress the area, then vanished. The progression from exasperation at the invasion to giddiness as my stupid hiding spot kept working to gratitude as the phantom I thought had come to kill me instead released me from insect purgatory made the encounter of my favorite gaming memories.
