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.

This is exactly why i love DS1. 99% of the NPCs hype you up to link the first flame as if it is the right thing to do. If you don't question it or pay attention to any of the lore then you just think that they must be right. The more I learned about the lore, the more I was on Kaathe's side.
Yep, same goes for ER! I dunno why so many people are against Ranni's thing, it's the one thing which brings actual change and restores free will.
Did I understand anything of what I did for her? Heck, no! But I got the significance of it!
Edit: oh, and there's a similar theme going on in Armored Core VI, love that one's story! And the lore is a bit more accessible, too, surprisingly fleshed out!
