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.

I'm glad you're enjoying your time with Sekiro as much as you are. The game's always brushed off as lesser because it's not a "true" soulslike, but come on. I'd say it's better than its predecessors in some regards even.
I'll have a look what I can find in terms of video recommendations outside the usual suspects like Vaati. Since the story-telling is a little more straightforward compared to the average affairs, there's not too much to speculate on, but I'll look around :)
Lesser??? This is news to me D: completely unacceptable. is it it's own thing? yeah, but wtf with that reasoning.
I'm thinking more about the significance of stuff that we as a western audience might miss. There must be some interesting things, I'll look around as well.
Just reddit elitists mainly :)
Oh yea, gotcha. Have you found the more or less last major location of the game? You get there in a special way and that special way has a significance in Japanese culture. One tidbit I remember learning about in a video, for example
Yeah! Precisely that kind of stuff is what I'm talking about!
As of right now Ashina is burning and I'm exploring the castle again before going to Kuro; this feels certainly like the endgame. I Might go and try to tackle the shichimen warriors now as well before proceeding...
I'm surprised how short the game is, but it's very tight so I'm not complaining.
Yea you're pretty much at the end. You've got two possible endings to pursue right now, depending on what previous steps you followed.
The first playthrough usually takes the longest, but overall it's pretty short, that's true. I recently did a re-run of the game and I probably finished it in a couple hours. And that's after not playing game for a couple years. I've had runs where it was even faster
