Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

618 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?

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?

Totally agree, the premise sounded interesting, but poorly executed. I got 1 and 2 on sale at the same time, played through number 1, thinking maybe i just had to get past the learning phase, never got better. Tried number 2 in case they had learnt from their missteps, they had not.

Oh thanks for telling me!

I had heard they literally learned nothing from the first and did the exact same boo boos in 2

I appreciate knowing that because now I'm going to avoid it, I had considered trying it on sale but no way now
