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.

Personally I think you will hate 1 if you don't play it first. But you probably will already, given that you played Elden Ring :D
I played in 2, 3, 1 order and especially controls, hitboxes and animation felt really off to me. Once you get used to everything, you will notice that many bosses are extremely easy, because you already fought harder versions of them in the later titles. Also the riddles are nightmares. And you don't need to solve them for some optional area, the hardest one is how to get into the DLC. Without a guide, it is pretty unlikely you will ever find it
