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 haven't played any of these games. Which one would you say is the best, or one that would still be played 25 years from now?

All of them, really. Depends on what you value most in games or what kind of gamer you are.

If you like gothic horror vibes, Bloodborne. If you like open-world games, Elden Ring. Sucker for Japanese culture and samurai sword fights, Sekiro.

There's a little something for everyone in the catalogue. But I'll assume that all of them will be played in 25 years given that they're the cornerstones of the genre (excluding Sekiro since it's a bit of a departure gameplay-wise)
