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.

...Out of proportion? I would have a celebratory glass of wine just for having made time to try again with this game.
Every year or two I dip back in and get curved hard. It's so gutsy and visceral, I love it but I lose my nerve. Part of the problem was using a fuzzy weak projector and I couldn't read anything. But that's an excuse, it's mostly that I get flustered. Even I admit it's a game design masterpiece though!
It certainly can be, a couple of times it felt like I was playing bloodborne! I'd say this game's worth a serious try. Get yourself properly set up, I'll be your personal cheerleader!
I did finally upgrade to a projector that does tolerable resolution and response rates, have been steadily chewing into my backlog ever since. Currently trying to finish AC6 after putting that on hold for a few years as well.
Bloodborne is even deeper in the queue, and I've been admiring it from afar for several years. Same issue, I've always been more facile with slower or more forgiving From titles.
