Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend?

I've got a long week of internship behind me, so I'll definitely be continuing my Dark Souls 3 playthrough. I just defeated Champion Gundyr (what a letdown, man) and have moved on to Dragonpeak Something (?) to go for NK - looking forward to that. Might go for the DLC next before finishing this playthrough, maybe I'll go for a SL1 run - will have to see. :)

What about you? Please share your plans - eager to hear about it! :)

I have basically tried and/or completed every major soulslike around and I crave something new.
I heard about a furry one being made not too long ago, but it's not out yet, not even TBA on steam to wishlist, and I also forgot its name so I cant track progress on it... 😮‍💨
Every Fromsoft game I've put close to or over 1000 hours in each. Beaten the shit outta Lies of P, The Surge 1 and 2, Nier Automata and Replicant, Lords of the Fallen, and Another Crab's Treasure. Played Nioh for a bit; didn't care for it that much but it does have some cool mechanics like the stance system and the idea of the Ki system could be fun is maybe balanced differently. And Mortal Shell was a buggy POS.
I haven't tried WuKong yet, but that's because it doesnt have a demo and isn't cracked yet and I do not purchase games without feeling them first. And I've heard nothing good about Entoria, which is a shame cuz I was hoping it'd be an Italian flavored Lies of P at least.
What I would really love is a soulslike as good as a Fromsoft game mechanically, but with the H.R. Geiger inspired aesthetics from Scorn. That would be dope.
Dark Souls! Hoping to get out of that Undead Burg!
DS1. For probably the fifth time.
- You got any pointers for a first timer ? I rang the first bell, but don’t really know what I am doing.
  
  Explore just see where the game takes you, find yourself in a tough area? Try another route. Don 't rush the progress, there's a lot to be found in DS1.
Was gonna be wuchang but then I got to the first act's boss and it was the most bullshit boss I've seen, I don't wanna waste my time
- Many people seem to be praising the game. Not your cup of tea?
  
  Not sure where you are getting that praise, mixed on steam and lots of people complaining about that boss. Just yesterday one of my favorite youtubers made a video on how that boss made him want to rage quit haha
You just finished something stressful so you’re choosing something stressful to relieve your stress?
- Soulslike and adjacent games are meditative for me, they require focus and adaptablity, but most of all, perseverance and patience. The payoff is so rewarding ...Once the machanics fully click and you start to flow with what the game throws at you.... Ah blissssss.
  
  I was walking down a lonely road at midnight once and saw what I thought was a chicken riding a horse.
  That is not as strange as finding out that people find Souls games meditative.
  I’m doing several double takes right now.
  I’m also drunk so please excuse my language.
- Yup :) :D It's oddly therapeutic to play a soulslike after playing through so many. I rarely get frustrated playing them nowadays so it's a relatively relaxing pastime :)
  
  Seconded. Although I haven’t played a lot and still get frustrated, it’s mainly with my self and find it oddly relaxing to play.
  
  Agreed. Lies of P for me this weekend.
  
  Jesus.
I’m really considering trying Sekiro again. I started it and played a couple hours before, but didn’t really get into it.
Although I really do need to progress in the Elden Ring expansion too… I hit a dead end with this boss tree with three stages, I cannot kill him even with a friend. But i might have read somewhere he’s optional?
- Sekiro is a different kinda beast compared to your standard soulslike. Really takes a lot of time and practise to get into it and not get frustrated. Took me three separate attempts across several years to have the game finally click with me. Up until where did you get? How did you like the game thus far?
  Honestly no clue which boss you mean - haven't played the DLC too much myself
