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.

If used sparingly, I quite like it.
Defeating Malenia only for her to become the Goddess of Rot is pretty cool. Or if it is two distinct entities like Radagon and Elden Beast. But here is the thing this only works because these are the only two examples in Elden Ring, if that happened with every second Remembrance Boss it wouldn’t be nearly as impactful.
Ya exactly this. When used well it enhances the boss. When overused it becomes annoying and cliched.
