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 guess it's good that FromSoft doesn't/didn't go down that road. Let's hope they keep it that way
For real. FromSoft have historically been good about that though. I remember when they were forced to include preorder bonuses for Dark Souls 2. Not only were the "bonuses" regular items that pretty much anyone could get within an hour or two of playing, FromSoft made them unlockable by modifying a plaintext file in the game directory so even if you hadn't preordered you could get them as though you had.
It doesn't mean it won't change of course, but it doesn't seem like it's imminent or even in the pipeline with the current leadership.
