When people think of Soulsborne games, the first word that comes to mind is “hard”. Making their mark on the gaming landscape with a focus on precise and challenging gameplay, they’ve come to be known for their punishing enemies and, more notably, difficult bosses. Of them, these are the most difficult to topple, ranked from hard to very hard.
The Games Cabin Writes "First of all, this ranking is my opinion, so it is bound to be different from a lot of people. The “Soulsborne” series is highlighted for its amazing world-building and savagely hard combat that we have come to love. Ranking the series wasn’t easy, especially with the FromSoftware’s latest release, Elden Ring. I will also be including DLCs for the games as Fromsoft always produce masterclasses for the DLCs."
In the minority I’m sure but code vein is my favorite of the souls games.
Here's how I rank them from best to worst:
1. Bloodborne
2. Elden Ring
3. Sekiro
4. Dark Souls 3
5. Demon's Souls
6. Dark Souls
7. Dark Souls 2
I haven’t gotten around to playing Elden Ring yet. However, I have beaten Demon Souls Remaster, Darks 1-3 and Bloodborne. I didn’t enjoy Sekiro enough to finish it, so it is my least favourite Soulsborne game. Conversely, Bloodborne is favourite Soulsborne game.
I think Sekiro was cool, but it wasn’t good enough to keep me to the end. Never finished it. All the others I have (except Elden Ring- Just haven’t had the desire to play it in the last 3 weeks. Left off in Volcano manor.)
Bloodborne is definitely the best game. Dark Souls is very good as is demons souls. Elden ring is better than demons souls, but not as atmospheric. I enjoyed Dark Souls 2 as well. I can’t fairly judge dark souls 3 cause I was souled out by then. Any list with Bloodborne as #1 and Sekiro closer to the middle or bottom has my support. Elden ring can fall anywhere but #1 and I’m fine with that too.
Nioh II and the Soulsborne genre exhibit in a manner more clearly than real life the deleterious consequences of emotively disregarding logic, the splendor of achieved potential & that the cost of self-improvement is the shedding of blood.

Haven't been following this that much but I'm def interested. I never played the original but it seems fun. If this would be a bloodborne clone I would shamefully be ok with it.
Edit: But please not it not be.
