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.

I love coffin travel so much. Such a silly thing added to From's dark and foreboding environments.
And then there's DS2 where they kind of just smoosh everything together... The elevator from Aldia's Keep to Dragon Aerie should have been coffin travel, go all in ๐
Dark Souls 1 geography is exquisite. Dark Souls 2 geography would have been better represented by a level select screen.
I disagree, the geography in ds2 is noneuclidean. That would be lost if it had a level selection screen.
Hmmm
That's fair. It didn't strike me as being particularly deliberate though. I guess you could make the case that it is intentionally disorienting.
DS2 had the unique effect of using coffins to change whether the player played with and hand down their pants or not
