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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

Bloodborne is living up to the hype (slrpnk.net)

This is a pretty unnecessary post, but I have no one irl who I can share this sentiment with.

I've only just finished with Vicar Amelia, and while I can't imagine I'm that far into the game, I've seen enough to say that it's awesome, and barring any falloffs in quality through the rest of the game, may easily become my favorite souls entry.

I've been burned too many times before by hype, but not this one.

Only real reason I could see how someone might be let down by Bloodborne is if they just don't jive with the gothic/Lovecraftian horror aesthetic.

But not me, this shit is fire and has entered my horror media pantheon next to Elfriede Jelinek's The Children of the Dead and Andrzej Zulawski's Possession.

This is the only one I have never experienced multiplayer in. Not because I don't have PS+ for it, but because I absolutely do not understand how it works. I ring my bells and never see "signs" other than NPCs, nor do I ever invade, get invaded or be summoned. Maybe I got into it too late? I only got the game like 3 years ago when I got a PS5 just for it and the Demon's Souls remake. Maybe it doesn't have crossplatform play and there aren't many playing on a PS5 vs a PS4? IDK...

I hella wanna experience PvP in Bloodborne.
