Nioh 2 is only of 50% but it's my favourite game. It has the bonfire + bloodstain mechanics but the gameplay is a lot more ninja gaiden than souls. You don't need to pay nioh 1 to play 2. I actually never played 1 despite 2 being my favourite because i couldn't be bothered to be forced into the role of Geraldo of Nippon

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.

Tunic and Death's Door are both great. DD won't get as much praise, but it's absolutely worth it for $5.
A lot of good games here, but I came to say don’t sleep on Nine Sols. Excellent vibe, stellar combat, extremely challenging. I absolutely loved it.
20€ worth it?
It all depends on your economic situation, and how much you enjoy that kind of game, but I think I paid full price for it with no regrets.
Well, I've platinumed Sekiro and I enjoyed Hollow Knight a lot - I understand it's kind of a mix between the two? So I'd assume I'd like that style of game. The price is something else, of course
I'll pin your post for a while so people visiting the community who have not heard of the sales know to pick something up :)
Great!
Is there a fully co-op souls-like worth playing? (Aside from Nightreign)
Hellpoint
Maybe Lords of the Fallen?
Tried it for a bit but it's very repetitive. There's only about 7 enemies that just get re-skinned for different areas. The bosses are ok. The movement feels like DkS2
Sadge. I've heard the 2.0 update added some cool stuff and you can play the game in co-op with the second player not needing a copy of the game, so I'd thought this would be a consideration at least
Ashen is quite good.
I was looking at lies of p but for $30 base game of still too much for me so i guess another year of waiting lol.
Same thing with elden ring DLC not being on sale so going to continue to wait for that as well especially since the reviews are pretty mixed and i didn't love the base game to begin with.
I did see Thymesia go on sale (66% off) that i was looking at.
30€ is quite steep for Lies of P but still worth it, I'd wager. Objectively speaking, 30€ is still a lot of money, though, so I get that. They probably didn't want to discount the game too much since the DLC just dropped.
Thymesia might be worth it!
Yeah it's doable if i really want it, but i don't usually have much of a budget for games so usually I'm more patient and wait for steep discounts or GOTY editions discounted lol. Going to have to think about it over next two weeks!
I feel you. My spending on video games has also gone down in the past couple years and it's for the better. I remember preordering games so often back when I worked at GameStop, only to sell the game off because I didn't play it at all.
If you have a jailbroken PS4, you could get the game there too - that's how I first played the game
