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.

Hollow Knight for real. Some of the best game art and atmosphere I've ever seen, and it can get pretty challenging, but it never stops being fun.
Second that. The exploration can sometimes get a little frustrating, from my experience, if you're not quite sure where to go next. Usually, you'll make a mental note of roadblocks on your way and remember when you receive a new upgrade to further progress. The music is fantastic, though, as is the art direction, the fluidity of the gameplay and so much more
That game is a work of art with some good lore.
As far as traveling, the PC wemod turns the game into a version of flappy birds with unlimited jumps. Really speed it up the game when I got tired of platforming and just wanted to get to a location.
Wait are sections rebuilt to accommodate that change in architecture or is that like a fast-travel screen?
No it is a cheat. You basically fly by all the platforming by keep pressing jump which in a platforming game is defeating the purposed but I Hate platforming and just want to get to my location.
Oh so that was a joke about is turning into Flappy Bird :D Gotcha
