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.

The biggest problem with blighttown, in my opinion, is that too much of it looks the same. The layout is pretty easy to just run through if you already know where you're going, but it's so easy to get turned around or confused because of the lack of unique landmarks that it makes for a frustrating experience. I've played through the game more times than I can count so I have the route essentially memorized, but it was definitely a pain for the first... many attempts. I had the same complaint with a lot of Bloodborne where you go from one street of Victorian houses to the next street of Victorian houses. I think they cleaned up that particular problem with their game design by DS2, thankfully.
