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?

Whether it be a particularly annoying mechanic, bad design, poorly optimised... What are some of the worst soulslikes you've played? And what makes them so bad?

It's a hot take, but Lies of P. I really despise how they implemented comedy reliefs in this game. That Gemini monologue when you going up the mountain in a cable car is so so bad and absolutely ruins the moment. There are quite a lot of positive moments in the game, but humour and boring location design overweight many of them for me

That's fair - different strokes for different people. I didn't mind it too much and was just in awe of the story and gameplay. Maybe the DLC would win you over once it's out?

Yeah, maybe. But I'll wait for people to leave their reviews on the DLC first. There are so many appealing games being released these days, and so little time to play them. I'm in the middle of my E33 playthrough now :)

Absolutely, priorities and all
