Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

743 readers

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?

Yea I know what you mean. Romeo's combo, for example, is notoriously hard to parry for many players and even after several playthroughs, I still struggle with it and usually have to just run away from it. In comparison, I can rather easily defeat Isshin without getting hit once :s

I still like the parries in LoP for the most part, specifically Green Swamp Monster and Laxasia are quite fun to fight with the parries, but I get what you mean. It's always felt a little tighter and less forgiving than Sekiro
