Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

1060 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?

Sekiro man, what a ride...Celebratory wine is blowing this way out of proportion though XD. buut, my past self didn't think I had it in me so... Yay.

Fucking great game, the difficulty needs some serious demystifying... It was not nearly as tough as I expected. That said, this felt sorta like a trial run...

Here's to the completed playthrough, and many more to come, cheers!


An additional note:

I bursted out laughing during final boss phase two, I seriously thought the

Tap for spoiler"Glock Saint" moniker

was a community joke! XD

WHAAAT?? How did I even gain such an honor?

You always spread positive energy, post great OC art, use cute ASCII emotes, indulge me in my tirades... Idk you're always fun to talk to.

I'm nobody's senpai though, hah. I just have a lot of opinions and like to talk about them ๐Ÿ˜…


That's totally fair about Ninja Gaiden though, I get it. I will say that on Normal difficulty they're totally doable and both Ninja Gaiden Black/2004 and Ninja Gaiden 4 are very approachable. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a different beast, although I think it's also not as hard as it's made out to be, at least on Normal and even Hard difficulty. Master Ninja is on another planet though, here is some high level gameplay and yeah, I can't even get a sniff of surviving like that, with such minimal use of Ultimate Techniques too. But it's a great illustration of the proactiveness I'm talking about I think.
