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] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what would you like a potential second DLC for Elden Ring to be about? (infosec.pub)

I'm back to playing League, Hunt Showdown, and Slay the Spire 2 - no soulslikes on my plate right now.

Shadow of the Erdtree was undoubtedly a huge success and it added a lot to the game that fans desired. New mechanics were added, a more dark and mysterious vibe came to be, and a lot of new bosses entered the pantheon of best soulslike bosses. Given the DLC's success, coming with another DLC for the game would probably be received quite well by fans.

What would you like such a DLC to look like? What locations and bits of lore are left unexplored? Characters you could imagine showing up (again)?

Let me know!

Shoutouts to @Skua@kbin.earth for the discussion suggestion! 💜 :)

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
