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.

Dark Souls 2 has a mechanic to swap your character's gender whenever you want to. From is already okay with genderfluid protagonists.
You have to fight a bunch of ogres about it though, so business as usual.
There was an outrage about that either back when Dark Souls 2 came out, or when they added that to the game - I vaguely remember there not being anything worth note just after the game came out. Either way, "some people" freaked out about it, and the controversy got some wind in the sails due to the gamergate culture war being a thing back then.
