FromSoftware

4.1
(49)
"Dark Souls 1 is amazing. The best world design in video games."
·
"I think you’d be fine with Elden Ring. Same thing, if you struggle, you can level up, and by the end it’s god mode, plus it comes with plenty of content to keep you busy for a long time."
·
"Bloodborne, keep attacking and you get health back."
·
"You will love sekiro Bloodborne, demon's souls, dark souls are all just inferior version of Elden ring mechanically. Sekiro is another beast entirely, much more refined but as a consequence, much more restricting and on-rails"
·
"If you did not play Sekiro you should. No sitting back when fightimg bosses you have to ne im their faces."
·
"Bloodborne! There is nothing else souls like out there you should play before it."
·
"Sekiro is better"
·
"Sekiro is definitely what you’re looking for. Best combat system i’ve ever tried. And you literally HAVE to be aggressive to win fights."
·
"Sekiro is the way to go here"
·
"Bloodborne rewards you to be aggressive as possible via the rally system."

"If you want the best of the best, Nioh 2's combat is without equal."
·
"I'd much sooner replay Nioh 2 or even Remnant 2."
·
"Seconding Nioh, both games in the series are good and worth a look."

·
"Lords of the Fallen is probably my recommendation."
