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?

It might be a hot take, I’m not sure, but I just loved this DLC. I usually like to wait before buying a game or expansion and see reviews and get it on sale, but I actually pre-ordered SotE, booked four days off work, and played the hell out of it. I still am thinking about that world all the time. The level design and verticality blew me away, the environments are gorgeous, and the atmosphere is FromSoft perfected. I specifically remember when I first entered the Ancient Ruins of Rauh and having to stop for a minute because it was just so beautiful. If you enjoyed the base game but skipped the DLC because you heard the complaints about the difficulty, just get it, it’s absolutely worth it.

I loved it a lot too. The Messmer fight is probably my favorite in the game.

That fight is so cool. Elden Ring needs the ability to re-fight bosses like in Sekiro, I’d do the Mesmer fight all the time. Same with Bayle and Midra
