Every Souls-like game ranked from worst to best

What happens when you make a game that becomes a genre? Do other developers surpass that original creation and beat you at your own game? Well, sometimes. Here is every Souls and Souls-Like game, ranked from worst to best.

Dark Souls 1 is the best of the bunch, but Demon’s is a close second.

[Movefasta1993]

I have dark souls 1 second but close because of last izalith, it was a terrible section of the game. Demon's souls had no faults. And the maiden astrea boss fight was the best boss fight in the genre imo I still get goosebumps, the ost and the way it plays out from the moment you step in and your confronted with Garl Vinland is just so beautiful. And arch stone three's atmosphere omg. Na it's the goat for me.

And dont forget to mention king alantas with with de-leveling you like 4 or 5 times if yoy not careful, then to die after and have to go back a lvl to lvl up again to fight him again, rinse and repeat omg best boss fight imo. I beat demon souls all by myself.... god the hardship i went thru

[Movefasta1993]

LOOL YO King Allant de levelled me so many times , not only was he difficult the first time but the trek to get to him; past the phantoms,past the annoying dragon, and then to get de levelled bru...

Bloodborne all the way. Couldn’t even finish dark soul souls 2 and beat dark souls 3 which was alright. Didn’t play dark souls 1 or demon souls, so I can’t judge them

Blood borne to me just had the better environment and gameplay. Also being a hunter was bad ass

[Movefasta1993]

Demon's souls had way better environments, all 5 unique and full of atmosphere.

[FTLmaster]

Surprised Salt and Sanctuary isn't on the list.

[SatanicEyeJesus]

Bloodborne > Demon's > Dark 1 > Nioh > Dark 3

[Movefasta1993]

Demon's Souls> any game from any genre

[Sam Fisher]

I concur 100%

[Movefasta1993]

but chaos theory is up there too tho xd

[ninerguy1608]

I loved the music in demon souls when it’s starts. That game just felt so dark. I played the other souls games. All are good. But demon souls just sticks out for me. I havnt looked before I wrote this but If there was a demon souls soundtrack I’d buy it. Lol. If there is my fault for not checking. Ok just came back to edit. I see demon souls soundtrack on YouTube. I’m set lol

[Dragonscale]

Bloodborne for me then DS1.

[l33t_haxx0r]

The surge actually surprised me. Its pretty decent.. Lord's of the fallen is pretty pants in my opinion I don't think I finished it, got close to the end though. Recently got to way of the demon on nioh and it's highly addictive and fun, pretty hard to until you reach level 200. For me dark souls 1 takes the crown, just because I spent 3000+ hours on it with different invasion builds. So much fun!

[Eiyuuou]

DS1>DeS>DS3=BB>DS2

For me at least. Though I like DS3 a bit more than BB, I did enjoy BB's lore more.

[MWH]

Most players will favor their first game over the others but they are all great games and we are lucky to have experienced them.

[mezati99]

Bloodborne is the greatest game ever made to me

[pyroxxx]

Bloodborne, DeS, DKS1 (though I have hard time platinum-ing it. because I choose to kill Ornstein first,.. and now NG+ to get the needed armor is insane, to the point I am not having fun with the fight) ,.. Would probably place Nioh somewhere in here, DKS3, DKS2

[BoneMagnus]

I got a decent way through Demon Souls and DKS1, but B.B. was the first one I completed - including DLC.

I just started DKS3, and I own the remastered DKS2. I’ll beat these and then get the PS4 remastered DKS1. I’d also like to finish Demon Souls.

BB helped me understand how to play these games - though the combat is a little different.
