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.

Start by reading all of Berserk. Then play every King's Field game. Then play Demon's Souls. Then you'll be ready for Dark Souls 1. Skip 2.
Rest in RIP in peace Kentaro
I did actually read all of berserk because of how much i liked ER..
I wasn't kidding. I did the same but for Dark Souls.
I quit an hour into the first King's Field game. Not required reading, those games, and they were before Miyazaki anyway.
I mean, I was kidding. But also I read all of Berserk because of Dark Souls 1. You are going to enjoy so many easter eggs.
