>>19699972Demon Souls was the very first but it shows with a lot of controversial and not fully developed ideas
DS1 has a very solid first half but falls apart after the Lordvessel. DLC redeems it
DS2 is the black sheep, made by Fromsoft's "B-team" but has a cult following and the DLCs are pretty good
DS3...
Bloodborne has cool trick weapons and a greater focus on aggressive play, but there's less focus on the RPG elements
Sekiro almost doesn't qualify as a souls game. Pure action, no RPG. People liken it to a "rhythm game" in it's combat.
Elden Ring has a big open world, and in many ways feels like From has taken everything they've learned and put it all together, but it has issues of being excessive and practically REQUIRING you to do side content lest you be underlevelled as fuck
Pick your poison
