Let's take a look at what we're working with:

Bloodborne (2015)
A lone traveller. A cursed town. A deadly mystery that swallows everything it touches. Face your fears as you enter the decaying city of Yharnam, a forsaken place ravaged by a terrible, all-consuming illness.

Bound to protect a young lord who is the descendant of an ancient bloodline, you become the target of many vicious enemies, including the dangerous Ashina clan. When the young lord is captured, nothing will stop you on a perilous quest to regain your honor, not even death itself.

I'm having no issues with Elden ring on the series X...running smooth for me ...only issue I guess is the load times could be better....I dread to think how annoying the game would be to play on the Xbox one/PS4 with the dying and them load times....probably would kill the game for me
Bloodborne for sure (sorry Xbox only peeps!), but Dark Souls and Sekiro close behind. Yet to start Elden Ring though...
My first experience with Souls games was Bloodborne which I got the platinum. I then beat Demon's Souls remake and finally Im currently trying to obtain the platinum on Sekiro. Sekiro is my favourite with the parry and posture system. I will play Elden Ring down the line when patched up
Sekiro for me is better than Bloodborne by a bit. It actually was more different compared to DS than DS to BB. That guard bar, jumping and only having one weapon was a bigger change than no shield. Although the world of BB is cooler looking.
Demon's Souls PS5 was my first and led me to Elden Ring.
Metal Wolf Chaos! Great fun. As much as I enjoy Soulsbourne, I always prefer the Mech crazyness from From's early days.
@BBB Now that's some sentiment I can relate to. I could never understand why some people seem to regard these games so highly.
Bloodbourne by far. I don’t mind Dark Souls but I get bored of them, I played Bloodbourne a ton and got the platinum. The less said about Sekiro the better to me, I thought it was awful.
My favourite ‘soulslike’ is probably The Surge 2, I liked it more than any Dark Souls game, recommend it if you like the genre.
Bloodborne is the best for me followed closely by Sekiro, I'm not a fan of the Souls gameplay I prefer to be on the front foot
I'm only a couple of hours in to elden ring so it's too early to say, though the open world discovery component is pretty awesome thus far. Its bloodborne for me, the rally mechanic is awesome, forces you to get all up in folks face and the lovecraftian world is so freaky!
Sekiro...haven't played Bloodborne yet and obviously not enough of Elden Ring
I'm guessing everyone can guess my favorite title here I also love Sekiro and Dark Souls along with Armored Core 2 and tge original King's Field etc
Otogi. Or Tenchu: Return From Darkness, but I think they were just a published in that case.
I've played Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro, and Demons Souls on PS5. For sure Bloodborne is my favorite as well as one of my favorite games from the PS4 era. Second though surprisingly would be Demons Souls on PS5. Hated it on PS3, loved it on PS5.
Remember enjoying Otogi back in the day. Really should get the discs out and give them both a whirl now they are backwards compatible.
Dark Souls 2 (SotFS version).
Eternal Ring
@RevGaming The combat system in Sekiro is so intense having to manage ur own posture bar but trying to stay on top of the enemies. Makes Sekiro very strategic, would love to see a sequel or different game with that combat system
@Tsushima Yup. You couldn't sleep like on BB lol.
When I haven't played the games, I just click on "Results". I'm surprised to see Bloodborne number 1, I thought it was a disappointment.
Play s different game and no souls game, they are too hard for me
@Shigurui Dark Souls 2 is underrated in my opinion. I loved it and I’m glad to see someone else does too.
no 60 fps mode for Sekiro is sad, the console can clearly handle that
@ChopperCampbell Yeah mate, DkS2 is brilliant. I don't get the hate for it. Glass cannon Hexer for life lol.
All of the armored core games!
Realy hope the rumors of a new entry are true.
@Shigurui @ChopperCampbell Add me to the ranks guys, I absolutely love DSII 😁
No respect for Metal Wolf Chaos
