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?

I guess I didn't get the memo because I usually play some sort of dex weapon. I like fast-hitting stuff that doesn't require years of planning.

I did my ER DLC playthrough with Greatsword with frost affinity, it was so cool (pun intended). It's not that slow, you can punish a lot of moves with it, and the damage is great

Regular club hits fast and hard. It's very satisfying to use. So are the big ones.

Did some magic bonk with the darkmoon sword my first playthrough. Slow weapons ftw.

It's right in the he name: it's a great sword, why would I pick something inferior?
