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.

People are mad about Nightreign, but I'm not sure why tbh? I mean yes, it's basically just a mod of Elden Ring (but you don't have to have the original game); on the other hand, it's not $60, it doesn't have micro-transactions, and I doubt it's responsible for delaying Bloodbourne 2 or whatever.
Maybe people are afraid of these experimental titles taking development time away from their bread-and-butter single player games.
Capcom had (maybe still has, ootl for a little while now) a dedicated separate team working on "spin-off" Monster Hunter titles, like Generations (Ultimate) and Rise whereas the main team focused on 4U, World, Iceborne and now Wilds. Who's to say that FromSoft doesn't do this too given that it's a different director for Nightreign - then again, it hasn't been confirmed outright, right?
