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?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I've been trying to get to soulslikes for years. One of the thing I've noticed is that the guides are basically even more complicated than the Nintendo walkthroughs of years gone by.
Guide: "Oh this boss fight is a toughie. In phase 1, the boss will hurblinate. In phase 2, the boss will skurblinate instead."
Me: "I'm just getting walloped. How am I supposed to tell a difference? And does it really matter? ...Never mind, I'll just go for it."
