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?

Of all Star Wars games, it’d be tough to discern one that’s been as widely praised as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and for the longest time its reign was fairly uncontested beyond classics such as entries in the Star Wars Battlefront series, Star Wars: Republic Commando, or Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. That said, this debate has had greater meat on its bones since Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order introduced Cal Kestis as a fledgling Padawan who witnessed Emperor Palpatine’s Order 66 firsthand when he lost his Jedi Master and fled to Bracca as a refugee in hiding.

Respawn and EA’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order capitalizes on several gameplay genres—Soulslike, Metroidvania, platformer, and action-adventure—and melds them into a flavorful cocktail while never abandoning its immersive and unmistakable Star Wars atmosphere. Not since The Force Awakens has a Jedi-related Star Wars story felt as authentic, at least not without relying wholly on fan service. It’s not without its flaws, but Jedi: Fallen Order is a reminder, half a decade later, of how much potential for original storytelling and gripping gameplay still flows within Star Wars’ rich vein.

What are y'all's thoughts on the two games in general? I tried getting into it but just couldn't because the gameplay felt a little too action-y and too much like Uncharted vs Dark Souls or something
