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?

Keep ypur equip load between 25 and 29.1% and you can roll in the air and dodge gravity itself ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Lost Izalith looking pretty good at this point

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 3 weeks ago

Lost Izalith has nothing to see and Tomb of the Giants you can't see anything.

Did tomb of the giants without a light source once. That was stressful.

I actually liked blighttown. Well except that swamp bonfire is at very far distance.

You... I don't understand you.

[โ€“] Mika@piefed.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well I had a rapier+shield / bow / faith (heals, lighting bolts) build. I didn't need to roll. Most of the time I needed to carefully walk around, aggro from the distance, find the space wide enough to backstab.

Only enemies that required me to drop my "walk slowly and steady" routine were toxic dart throwers. But they don't respawn and it feels so good to finally meet them in close quarters.

I can't explain. I just like the vibe the location gives. This wooden town hanging on the castle wall & some ruins.

Blighttown stole lost Izalith from us. The wasted so much of their development time just trying to get blighttown to physically function that they didnt have time to complete Lost Izalith

I wonder if they ever think/thought of going back to DS1 and finishing the later half. There's bound to be some fans that would like that. Probably a lot more who wouldn't, I imagine, but still a thought worth entertaining

[โ€“] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I would have liked a little more content on ash lake as well, finding that area was such a highlight for me... But, it's got not much going on

[โ€“] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, no contest. Blight Town is the worst and by a lot.
