Soulslikes after finishing all the FS games
Looking for my next Fromsoft hit, having gotten into Elden Ring last year and subsequently played through all of the Souls games.
I’ve also played Lords of the Fallen and Lies of P.
What next? Listed my thoughts on all the Souls games I’ve played so I can give you an indication of what I liked.
Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Elden Ring - the first Souls game I played, and comfortably the greatest experience I’ve had with a video game. Played through three times now Dark Souls 3 - my favourite of the Dark Souls games Dark Souls - know it’s sacrilege, but I find it pretty meh. too clunky and slow Dark Souls 2 - enjoyed it but found it infuriating in places Bloodborne - really loved it but found it a bit overrated Sekiro - enjoyed the gameplay but not the setting/story as much Demons souls - really enjoyed the remake. Combat not as satisfying but level design I found interesting
Lies of P - Not a bad game by any means, but found myself bored throughout. didn’t love the setting. Bosses were good, but for me Souls games are about way more than just bosses. Exploration just felt really uninteresting.
Lords of the Fallen - really enjoyed this. Think the lore, setting, level design and exploration is top notch and damn-near as good as FS in places. Enemy design and bosses let it down in places, and it’s not as polished as FS. But I had an infinitely better time with this than with LoP.
the thing I like most out of the Souls games is the fantasy setting, level design, exploration and the challenge. Any recs on what next would be appreciated.
