- Just my personal opinion on ranking these games. Not all soulslikes are on this list as I just found it lol. Nor have I played them all.

I wonder what your parameters are for ranking these games. For me personally, even after playing all soulsborne games, Elden Ring sits comfortably atop the list, followed by bloodborne and sekiro. It has so many things going for it: more complex boss movesets, crazy build variety, beautiful art directions, one of the best open worlds I've ever seen, fantastic worldbuilding and insane playstyle variety. There's like a hundred different ways to play the game, and even more after all the stuff added in the dlc. For me, and for many others, Elden ring is one of the greatest games ever made. You kinda just slapped it onto the list without explaining your criticisms
Putting Lords of the Fallen right next to Elden Ring and Dark Souls is pretty baffling to me.
Bloodborne is my first souls game and im starting to feel super lucky to have this experience in 2024 😂
fantastic list man

Bloodborne and Sekiro are my #1 and #2 games of all time.
Weirdly I'd go DS1>ER>DS2>DS3 (though there's little between them) because even though DS3 is clearly more artistic and well designed, there's something charming about the jankiness of DS2 and I find it a little more addictive to play, maybe because it's quite easy so you make a lot of progress quite quickly and it has more of a 'gamey' vibe. For some reason I find the atmosphere of DS3 a little bit too 'spiky' and oppressive - there are less moments of levity as there were in 1 and 2 to break up the serious tone. On the other hand the bosses in DS2 are kind of bad and DS3 generally excels there, and I'd argue that The Ringed City is peak Dark Souls nightmare stuff.
I think mortal shell being in B is fairly rated. It‘s nothing ground braking but solid and fun. It was my first souls-like experience and imo makes it easier to get into this genre than starting with the real souls games. I‘m currently playing DS1 and I appreciate having some experience with this genre already.
A fair assessment of Ashen. What soured my experience with it is the final boss, which was not only a stark difficulty spike but introduced the worst boss run in soulslike history. This is one of those bosses that punishes a single mistake with absurd damage and has some brutal combos that effectively one-shot. There's a reason why many of the "easy boss guide" videos have you kiting the thing around a lava pool instead of fighting it head on. I know I could have beaten it, I saw what needed to be done, but I just didn't care enough to continue. I always ran out of the estus equivalents and depended on the limited crafted healing potion to keep me alive. I couldn't get over the finish line without this consumable, but it's a limited item that requires farming and crafting to make. On my last run I gave in and was using throwing spears and kiting the boss and had it nearly dead. I went to use a heal and ended up consuming the wrong item: one of those consumables with a trade-off benefit that damages a chunk of your HP, so I accidentally self-deleted with the boss two hits away from death. Considering that last session was about 30 minutes of kiting and I ran out of spears and crafted healing, I gave up. For those wondering, imagine Midir's boss run but you have to go through the entire dungeon again and you cannot run past the enemies which happen to be the most obnoxious in the game.
LETS GO BRO THATS RIGHT THANK YOU THIS GAME COMPLETES MY LIFE 👊🏻
fantastic list! For me Elden Ring was such an interesting game because The highs of elden ring is the best of the series but the lows are sometimes competes the bs of ds2 lol, Good List! 🎉
I started up a fresh new save for NIOH 2 yesterday after not playing for over 2 years now. Holy cow is the the combat something else. When I played it originally, I got all the way to the final difficulty and did a bunch of the underworld floors and only stopped because Ghost of Tsushima came out. I know for a fact that I was good at the game.
very based, would have liked to see ds2 get little bit more love but no complaints overall
If Elden ring had upto 6 player's in a match it wouls be easily S tier as well for me. But it ruined pvp with invades being 99% get ganked by 3 people. With more slots open fight clubs happen and with fight clubs honor codes, Elden ring has none of which just cheese layered on cheese for PvP.
Not on the list: Lords of the Fallen (2014), Darksiders 3, Steelrising, Thymesia, Asterigos, Hellpoint, and Dolmen. There's even more to add recently with Morbid Lords of Ire and it looks like Bleak Faith is still poised for console release. I have a feeling these titles might flesh out your C-F tiers a bit.. Thymesia and Steelrising were quite enjoyable, though. Even OG Lords of the Fallen is a guilty pleasure.
good list based takes, would of liked to see your takes on ER though. IMO personally a lot of people cut it too much slack solely because its either their first souls like or are blind to its failures (intentionally or not). The game probably has some of Fromsofts highest highs and lowests lows.
Everybody has different opinion obviously. I'm just glad you put DS2 on B. A lot of people would put it on Z.
I think many players like Bloodborne a lot because it was their fist souls-like experience, so they have a kind of bias towards it. But there is no way I would put Bloodborne above Elden Ring, not even above DS3.
There's a difference between Soulsborne and Souls-like games.
have u played Thymesia?
