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.

Another playthrough of Elden Ring. There's just so much to it and I forget so much that I need to progress. Hopefully will finish the base game and try to get through SOTE next week.
After that I think I'm finally ready to try Sekiro for the first time. I'm a bit intimidated by what I have seen so far, but I figure enough determination should get me through it.
Sekiro definitely plays a lot different than classic soulslikes. You just need to embrace what the games throws at you in terms of mechanics and try to relearn your muscle memory, then you'll be good. Parries are the name of the game. If I got through it, you'll get through it :D (basically my second soulslike)
I appreciate the advice and encouragement!
