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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

[Discussion] Do you prefer a boss' second phase HP to be integrated into one singular healthbar or do you prefer a second healthbar for the second phase? (infosec.pub)

For some reason, the latter pisses me off a lot. The feeling of thinking you defeated the boss after learning the attack patterns only for you to have to start learning another moveset to defeat the boss annoys me. What about you?

Rennala should be a third example, iirc

Yeah, I didn't think of Rennala. Her first phase feels more like a preview to the actual fight.

I also forgot about the Scadutree Avatar in the DLC. The fight plays out differently here, with the opportunity to land a critical attack and pre-wound the second phase and the the third phase.
