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.

check out monster hunter (world/rise/wilds) and hop on bow, light bowgun, or heavy bowgun. expect a steep learning curve, but it shouldn't be bad if you're used to soulslikes, monhun is just precious with iframes, so it's a lot tighter to iframes through moves than it is in a typical souls/like
if you pick it up and end up needing a hand, hit me up! always happy to teach people how to hunt
MH isn't really a soulslike. Lethal combat where you need to learn the boss and stamina dodge roll sure but that's the extent of it.
It's all boss fights all the time, and the difficulty is more about repeating hunts to get better rather than to be able to do it at all.
Great series though and will probably be appreciated by a souls fan.
