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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I've never likes the multi-player aspects of soulslikes. I tried ER as intended for a bit, but I swapped to offline a few hours in. The messages can be helpful, and are often funny, but I just find it messy and busy, and like the more quiet experience without.

I like the online part just fine, but it feels like a completely different game. When I play offline, it's like I'm in the world of the Lands Between. I'm myself on an epic quest, even though I have a meme name and a meme face. When playing online it's like I'm playing a video game where my character does things.

I usually prefer to play offline, even though I like the online parts.

And I love playing seamless coop with a friend, it's like going on an epic quest together.

That's perfectly fine. The online component is entirely opional after all and if you're not into co-op play or invasions, you're fine just playing offline in favour of not seeing messages
