I’ve been getting a lot of conflicting reviews with some saying the combat is super hard and others saying it’s not on the level of a souls game. I’m looking for a little more of a challenge and less difficulty than the OG souls games would be a bit of a disappointment.
I get the idea that like you can shape a stronger narrative around a pregenned PC but dude RPing in lothric or the lands between cant be beat imo
Big bosses in massive giant-ass empty arenas where you spend 3/4 of the fight just chasing them around trying to get a hit in.
Currently fighting the final boss in Wuchang, who is one of those. He’s no fun. There was a dragon boss a bit earlier in the game who was similar - spawning and teleporting a mile away. And of course there’s the infamous Elden Beast.
They just aren’t fun fights.

By claws, not just wolverine claws but more like clawed gauntlets. although honestly I’ll take Wolverine claw recommendations too
I'm not new to souls games or anything. I bought a ps5 recently and all the fromsoft games I played (with exclusion of elden ring) didnt have the dlc. So I thought I should replay them. I fucking hated that my faith build in ds3 didnt get to use the lightning arrow or that my arcane build in bloodborne never felt right without MGS.
I have demon souls, ds1-3 and bloodborne.
I never played demon souls or ds2, and I never finished 1.
Which one should I start with? Demon souls because its the newest, or bloodborne because it has the best dlc?
I'll address this now, this post is mostly useless. I just want to talk about these games.
I'm currently playing through Dark Souls Remastered on my Switch 2 and I really enjoy being able to play on the go since I don't have much time at home. What are some other souls games for Switch/Switch 2? I know Another's Crab Treasure is on it but I missed the sale. Also, only 3D ones please
We would first like to express our gratitude to the many players around the world who have taken the time to play Nioh 3 since its release. We are currently hard at work developing future updates and DLC for the game.
I would also like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce the free update scheduled for release on April 27. This update will primarily introduce new features and content designed to enhance the Nioh 3 gameplay experience.
We are currently preparing for the release of this update, and we appreciate your patience until it becomes available.
Further details on each element will be shared via our official social media channels, so we encourage you to follow them for the latest information.
We will continue to provide ongoing updates for Nioh 3, including DLC releases planned for later this year.
In the meantime, we hope you will continue to enjoy playing Nioh 3.

I am about to embark on my first journey in Lords of the Fallen, and need some experienced advice from you all.
I picked the Condemned as my class, because it has a bucket, but now I am not sure whether to go with Legacy, or Veteran difficulty.
For reference as far as my souls credentials: I have completed a True Wretch run in Eldenring (base game), and Sekiro on base vitality.
I don't want the game to be too easy, but am I just completely screwing myself with Veteran difficulty?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
As per the norm with me, recently picked up Wo Long on its last sale. Currently in Part 6, chapter 2, on the NG run.
I almost always wait for games to be out so the patches and balancing acts can happen. Long gone are the days I give a damn about putting down a boss pre nerf. It used to be something I enjoyed, but as I got older that 'drive' died off.
This game is really hitting the spot. It's not as brainless as Ubisoft/Harry Potter sort of games where you can just outright turn off your brain and hit some button inputs, and watch shit die. But it isn't one of those games that make you die 20+ times on each boss before you progress.
Story is absolute trash, but in the best of ways? The entire time I play this game it's like I'm time traveling to a Pizza Hut in the early aughts of the millennium, and I'm arcading it up. Sometimes the NPC buddies remind me of my homies on the TMNT games of old. They're there, but they might as well not be. Fuckheads.
Also gives me this strange dungeon crawler D2 vibe.
The 2 toughest bosses were the clone guy and horse boy so far, but that's because I was going at them the same way I did the others. Changed tactics a bit, tweeked the build a little, and they melted too.
All that being said, I like the sort of games where you comb through bullshit gear to find the desired RNG. I also love the group salvage options they provide, so combing through and destroying all that shit doesn't phase me. It's like digital groundskeeping almost.
But yeah, all in all, glad I got the game. Looks to be an easy platinum too, so ayyyy
Which soulslike I haven't played yet is a must for you guys? Bonus points if the platinum is fun and if the game is cheap, I'm kind of on a budget right now. I'm thinking about buying Another Crab's Treasure, what do you guys think?
Hey so I'll start off by saying I've never been a big fan of parrying and prefer timing dodges and rolling through attacks. Im looking for Soulslike games that aren't so parry relient. It's fine if it's an option but not necessary, even if it makes the game a little harder. I could maybe be persuaded to play more parry relient games if it's not as heavy like Sekiro say. A game like Lies of P were you don't have to parry but makes the game easier is fine with me.
Games I've played and loved:
Dark Souls 1-3
Elden Ring
Wuchang
Lies of P
Bloodborne
Demon Souls
Hollow Knight
Games I've tried but dropped realising they're parry relient:
Nine Sols (Btw 2D games are cool to recommend as well, I actually really loved this little gem so could be convinced to try it again)
Sekiro
I've also started Nioh before twice and the combat was just a bit too strange for me I'm not sure why. I'm open to being convinced to try it again.
Games I've heard about but don't know too much about them and I'm interested in:
Khazan
Wukong
Strangers in Paradise
Rise of the Ronin
Code Vein (This one I've played but dropped for an unknown reason, might have been because the game is based around having an AI partner. But I did really like it).
AI Limit
I think that's about it. I do much much prefer the rolling and dodging style gameplay but I could be convinced to try something if it's really that good. So yeah it'd be great to have some feedback on the games I've dropped and the games I'm interested in or if there's anything else you'd like to recommend feel free. Thanks in advance. I'm also open to anything that might be soul adjacent like action RPGs as well, even better if they have a decent story.
Hey guys , I just completed sekiro shadows die twice ,now I am confused about which one I play first bloodborne or demon souls as my next new game 🤔
I first started playing Elden Ring oohhhh about 4 1/2 weeks, got soooo completely hooked on...well everything!!! That I just said F IT!! I wanted every game in the Souls Like Game Series
That day I ordered Dark Souls 1-3 & Bloodborne, once I posted those pics someone mentioned Demon's Souls. Well I honestly never heard of it and come to find out it was a PS3 Game.
This past Wednesday, I took my Switch lite games etc into my local game shop (nooo not GameStop) to get a ps3 and games for my library well they just had MGS4 & the PS3 Slim 500gb I took those And like $60 cash cause the store owner knew what I was looking for.
2 minutes later I'm in my car on eBay and I found the best USED Copy of.....you GUESSED RIGHT 👍🏻 DEMON'S SOULS for $26 (rounded up after tax) and I also ordered the most EXPENSIVE title I'd go on to order for the collection Sekiro: GOTY Edition!
Also, I have Armored Core VI lol
Been playing From Software games since '97 with the very first Armored Core games
I wanted to share the pics of what's now, become my FAVORITE GAME SERIES OF ALL TIME!!!
A casual discussion on what everybody is playing this week- Regardless of genre.
Dm!
I've been sharing my very first playthrough with you guys, and I gotta say, this is one of the best fights in the game (so far, please don't spoil anything 🙌).
The combat against the first boss feels like a dance. Evading, parrying, and attacking the boss when you get the chance just flows beautifully. It's magical and somehow elegant. On top of that, his armor is absolutely stunning!
The second boss is the complete opposite. He's brutal, unpredictable, ugly, and disgusting, but also incredibly cool at the same time haha. I really like that contrast between the two phases. This second guy reminds me of the Great Ape from Sekiro because of his fighting style (both are very erratic and unpredictable).
By far, this is one of the best fights in the game, and I'll definitely review this title on my channel as soon as I finish it 🔥 I'm amazed by this game, it is one of the best games I have played this year so far and I can't wait to play the sequel!!!!
I am playing again after a while and after Nioh 3.
I think that she needs more love, she is a very funny boss.
Have you enjoyed this game?
I bought BB like 1 month ago and im lovung it,I've almost beated the moon presence and Im starting to think what souls should I play next.I love the stile of sekiro,so I want to give it a try,but i also want to try the dark souls trilogy.I knew that sekiro is pretty hard but I like challenges.what do you suggest?
