That's exactly the point. What's easy for one person can be insurmountable to another. What's the harm in catering to both?

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.

Personally I prefer the game to offer in-game methods of changing the difficulty. Elden Ring, for example, has enough summons, consumables, co-op, side content to overlevel with, and just straight op items (something something bloodhounds step) that there isn’t really any main boss you can’t engineer a pretty easy win over. To me that feels more narratively compelling than a simple slider—it lets you trade a mechanical challenge for an intellectual one (“what would make this fight winnable?”) rather than taking you out of the game to just turn the numbers down.
