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!

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?

I don't have many bombshells myself, unfortunately. Mostly just oldies and things I've been waiting on.

Hollow Knight is good for any price, but for $7.50 is a steal. Absolutely stellar game.

Another Crab's Treasure is an...interesting one. I haven't finished it, but it had fairly good combat, imo, and a very different atmosphere to the grimdark horrors we usually find in souls-likes. I do recall the leveling felt a bit lackluster, but maybe that was just me.

Nine Souls and TUNIC are two I've been considering for a little while now. I think I'll nab Tunic and wait on Nine Souls a little longer, personally. Death's Door also caught my eye at $5. Might be a good snag.

How about y'all? Any must haves with good deals this sale?

30€ is quite steep for Lies of P but still worth it, I'd wager. Objectively speaking, 30€ is still a lot of money, though, so I get that. They probably didn't want to discount the game too much since the DLC just dropped.

Thymesia might be worth it!

Yeah it's doable if i really want it, but i don't usually have much of a budget for games so usually I'm more patient and wait for steep discounts or GOTY editions discounted lol. Going to have to think about it over next two weeks!

I feel you. My spending on video games has also gone down in the past couple years and it's for the better. I remember preordering games so often back when I worked at GameStop, only to sell the game off because I didn't play it at all.

If you have a jailbroken PS4, you could get the game there too - that's how I first played the game
