After a long wait, the release of Elden Ring it’s finally here. As you probably already know, the game turned out to be a true masterpiece, just as we anticipated. And it is that FromSoftware it rarely fails, and its latest games bear witness to this, so we have decided to review its history with what we believe are the best SoulsLike of the study, ordered from the least good to the best.
Dark Souls II
A lot of times, sequels don’t get as much better as we’d like and such was the case with Dark Souls II. Unlike its predecessor, this second part felt less mysterious and too familiar. The different areas of the game didn’t feel as interconnected, and many bosses didn’t have the same level of impact that the first title did. Still, Dark Souls II is still a very enjoyable experience.
Demon’s Souls
Demon’s souls was the game that started it all and at the same time, it also became a true phenomenon when it was released for the PlayStation 3 in 2009, and being the first SoulsLike, many of his concepts still felt somewhat experimental. The enemies were much more difficult, the levels more confusing, and generally speaking, it was a game that punished you quite a bit for the slightest mistake.
Dark Souls
after what was Demon’s souls, FromSoftware seems to have found a much more approachable formula that, yes, was still quite a challenging game, but now had more refined elements that generally speaking made it a more fun experience. His gameplay it is slow, methodical and any mistake can cost you your life, but it is precisely these elements that made Dark souls such a special product.
Bloodborne
advertised as exclusive of playstation 4, Bloodborne It almost completely changed the well-known formula of these games and the result was simply sensational. We had a new IP that introduced new game mechanics. gameplayand since it is an IP completely unrelated to the others of FromSoftware, we also visited locations, and killed enemies that seemed straight out of our worst nightmares. On this occasion, the combat had a much more aggressive orientation, and play defensively it was not as viable an option as before.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Another IP that was looking to refresh the formula again is sekiro: shadows die Twice. This time we visit the period sengōku from Japan playing a skilled warrior armed only with a Katana. Yeah, the customization got a bit lost on sekirobut I know overcompensated featuring fantastic combat, vastly superior level and enemy design, and some of the most challenging bosses of any game SoulsLike.
Dark Souls III
The third installment in the franchise of Dark souls He gave us an experience that, for many, was already the pinnacle of the entire saga. Dark souls III finally felt like the game that FromSoftware always wanted to do, and it introduced us to some of the most memorable bosses and stages of all time. It was going to be difficult to beat this title, but its developers did it with the delivery that we list below.
Elden Ring
The most recent release of FromSoftware it’s also his best game to date. Elden Ring takes elements from all of the studio’s past franchises and incorporates them in such a seamless way that it’s almost impossible to imagine a better result. The open world turned out to be one of its greatest strengths, and if you combine that with what we might expect from a title of FromSoftwarethen we have as a result one of the best experiences you can currently enjoy. Elden Ring is simply a masterpiece.
