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?

[Discussion] Do you engage in online play in soulslikes (PvP, co-op, invasions) or do you prefer solo, single player gameplay? (lemmy.zip)

Honestly, haven't ever really bothered playing online. It's been on by default when I had PS+ and sometimes I've been invaded, for example, but I've never seeked it out actively.

What about you?

Yes. I love it and think it's overlooked and under-developed.

As a noob it was great to have the option to get help in DS3 for tough bosses and see the whole game. Same for a few ER bosses that I've not been able to beat solo. ER also has a lot of catacombs/dungeons etc that don't require co-op, but are a lot more fun to dungeon crawl with a few randos.

DS2 and DS3 PVP are a lot of fun. DS2 Undead Purgatory arena and DS3 Irithyll are usually bumping with activity. DS1 Oolacile is ok, but I usually lose there lol.

Invasions are the best, though. Especially getting invaded. It adds a new variable to the games we've played 100 times. Some of the funniest situations come from the unpredictability of other players. I see how it can be a nuisance for people, but embracing it made me enjoy these games even more.
