Favorite Soul-Borne game?

[ScarletWeeb]

Mine is Sekiro. That's the only one I have played lol.

 

[SailusGebel]

DS1.

 

[RepresentingEnvy]

DS3

 

[owotrucked]

The superior one which is DS2

 

[Corty]

Elden Ringu.

 

[Astrolust]

Elden Ring is probably the best. But Dark Souls 1 if it got a remake would be the king. It’s so good for a blind play through and the way you discover stuff is just *chefs kiss*

DS3, the game's pacing is fast and smooth, it constantly keeps the tempo up without exhausting you. Albeit, I am very biased towards it since I have over 300+ in just pve, but, you know, nice game, exploration is bland, but I like linear games.

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood.
Fear the Old Blood.

Although Elden Ring and DS2 are both close second.

 

[Omnii]

Definitely Sekiro, but I still enjoy the others.

My life

 

[FleecedSheep]

Dark Souls 2, specifically for the Playstation 3. The Playstation 4 version is all janked up.

I hate soul-games, not the game itself but for being the open-pandora-box phenomenon that all west game devs having a cult-like craving for difficult games to the point of masochism.




Its like extraction games being all hardcore, on game-dev forum in Red River Incursion section, i found funny a post saying : Nice, then go play the 99,99% other extraction shooter games (the person was replying to a Jokerpfp dude saying : PVE?Meh)
Or isekai now occupying the market bc of the Mushoku popularizing it. Or MCU popularizing this shitty quirky snarky dialogue style.

 

[RainyLiquid]

Dark Souls 2 SOTFS.

 

[BearlyAlive]

Black Souls I & II

 

[ArchlordZero]

Is Armored Core VI counted as souls-borne game?

 

[PancakesWitch]

Mario Odyssey

 

[Pablo.Costa]

Do metrodvania inspired ones count? Cuz I just finished Death's Gambit and woo boy, it's one of the few games I enjoyed dying over and over.

A Soulslike is a subgenre of action role-playing games known for high difficulty level and emphasis on environmental storytelling, typically (but not always) in a dark fantasy setting. You have to fail before you get better and eventually succeed, making them easier than a procedurally generated roguelike. Soulslike games typically have a high level of difficulty where repeated player character death is expected and incorporated as part of the gameplay, with players often keeping part of their progress since the last checkpoint (items collected, bosses defeated). Soulslike games usually have means to permanently improve the player character's abilities so as to be able to progress further.

I loved "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" and "Nioh," which is ironic because I wasn't a big fan of either of the sequels. However, I might soon get a new favorite when I play "Titan Souls" and "Salt and Sanctuary."

Now, since I gave the definition of the genre. Would you guys consider "Deadrising 1" to be a soulslike? Why or why not?

Having just finished playing the entire dark souls trilogy, my favorite is sekiro. But, I haven't played bloodborne yet. I actually liked ds2 more than ds1 at times, and although the (dark souls) gameplay peaked in 3, it felt like it had less substance than 1 or 2. Elden ring was amazing, but I think it may have been a tad too big. I don't plan on playing demon's souls. Ever.
