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.

Well, lemme put it this way: considering I've managed to cheese 75% of the bosses with the Bloodhound Greatsword's charged Shadowstep attack, it's worth investing in a versatile build!:))
I dump more in carry capacity for thicc armor and lean rolls, then Strength and Dex for the glory of the swing. Granted, I have Morgott's Greatsword as off-hand (yep, dual Greatsword ftw!) Then I beef up my character's noggin stats for more Mana and a handful of pretty good weapon buffs! Arcane also buffs Bleed, so it's quids in!
Edit: Malenia still obviously mops the floor with my shredded remains 100% of the time, though... Please let me not solo her.
