Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes

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?

This, but the first boss is Genichiro

Just proves the point tho. I p easily win my fights against Tutorial Genichiro now, because once you know the combat system, he's a really easy boss. He just seems like an impossible monster the first time you fight him because the combat system takes a little while to click and become second nature.

when it clicks, it starts feeling like a rhythm game, like a dance between two nobodies fighting over nothing at the end of the world...

I was replaying Sekiro recently after not playing it since release, thought I could at least put up a fight against tutorial Genichiro. Needless to say, I got my ass handed to me in under a minute.

I've seen people beat tutorial Genichiro (all no-death runners do it), but it's more challenging without the mikiri-counter
