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.

You can start it wherever you like. But 3 is heavily related to 1, more so than 2. So I'd really suggest starting at 1. It really makes 3 that much better. Theres a few bosses you won't really get without playing 1. And going directly from 1 to 3 is a pretty great experience. 2 is the best for pvp in my experience nowadays (dont let that make you think its any good its ass a lot of the time). They're all amazing games tho.
