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.

Just checked, reviews are around an average of 7 for both users and reviewers. Which is not a flying score, but also not that bad. And I'm certain that a lot of the less than positive reviews come from a fan base who used to think the OG dark souls was perfect and just didn't want to try anything slightly different at the time.
On top of that, you're straight up mistaken. I was pretty sure finishing moves/executions didn't auto trigger, but still decided to go on and check. They don't. You HAVE to press a button to trigger them. You can just light attack to finish an enemy if you are not ready to be animation locked. And I don't see that as a flaw. Honestly, it baffles me that DS gives you i-frames on crits, and some other random actions, like opening a door.
