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.

the game learning curve is steeper because of limited time for a run, and some "training" solo runs and explanation videos helped me to improve (i avoid guides in regular soulslikes, but the only alternative here is investing tremendous amounts of time to learn even basics). then when you already understand what to do, its better even with randos imo. most of my regular "story" runs were fun and positive. i know people are salty in "ranked" mode, but i haven't tried it and probably won't without a proper squad
