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.

I know. I feel like we've all gotten too good at these games now. Everyone knows what stats to pick and has a lot of practice dodge-rolling.
I had the most fun when the games felt impossible because I didn't know what I was doing.
This is why I have a rule for all soulslikes that I will play it once with no guides just brute force and bonk. It's worked for me so far.
NG+ I look up all the things though so I can kick ass and take names.
That's what I do too. I had a journal going for Elden Ring like a crazy person.
How it felt:
I like their shake ups like Sekiro and Bloodborne, that were different enough to be challenging.
I installed the Elden Ring Reforged mod so I could play it with some sekiro mechanics lol.
Maybe that's why Sekiro has remained my favorite and most replayed.
I'm holding out hope that the Sekiro anime will stir up some pressure for a new game.
THIS is how I learn about No Defeat!!??!
All of my fediverse time has been worthwhile.
Ha, glad to help! I'm pretty pumped for it.
Sekiro remains my favorite almost solely because of the lack of a stamina meter. It increases the speed of the game a ton, and it's very cool to have a 30 second back and forth wild swordfight with someone instead of roll-roll-roll-R1-roll-roll. You just can't do that in other Fromsoft games.
