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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I played AC when it was out on ps1 and 2, they were favorite game. I actually got into souls games once I realized it was the same company. I used to play Tenshu games as well, and it never registered they were all the same company.
I love AC6, I got the platinum /100% on ps4 and 5. It is remarkably similar to souls gameplay mechanics, especially the stagger/overload. But like insanely fast paced and frantic. There are many build options, although with PvP last I checked was pretty dead and the meta seemed a little stale. But single player is fantastic.
The frantic pase does sound a tad intimidating but knowing there are simmilarities to soulslike mechanics is reasuring.
There's always the option to just tank up. The tank can actually be quite mobile as well. Have fun!
