Long story short, Demon's Souls Remake on PS5 opened my eyes and the gates for me to experience the remaining games in the Souls franchise. I'd previously poured heaps of praise for the spectacular Demon's souls Remake and Dark Souls Remastered. I then went on to complete Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First sin which btw is such a damn good sequel to the first Dark Souls game. Two weekends ago I began the fourth(Dark Souls 3 being my fourth souls game to play) and arduous souls journey as I began Dark Souls 3. Let me start off by saying Dark Souls 3 is way harder than DS1 and DS2 combined. DS2's difficulty was more to do with figuring out how and where to proceed, but DS3's difficulty is purely figuring out the boss fights and how to overcome the challenge. The whole world felt disconnected in DS2 when compared to DS1, but DS3 feels more connected slightly less interconnected world when compared to DS1 but connected nonetheless. Thank you

and a family friend of mine for introducing me to this world of Souls.

- No re-skinned boss fights which was present in Dark Souls 1, ended up feeling a little padded
-Fantastic DLCs (ringed city + ashes of Ariandel)
-Memorable boss fights
-Amazing soundtrack
-Memorable NPCs
-gratification through progression in a level to light up a bonfire
-Manageable difficulty spikes in the game (maybe because I got a random to help with me the soul of cinder, Sister Friede & Two princes boss fights)
-Helping out randoms with their boss fights. I've helped over 2 dozen randoms in their worlds on their fight against two princes, aldrich, yhorm, soul of cinder, demon prince, great wolf of ariandel, sister friede fights. So damn fun to help out random people in the game
Neutral
-I am noticing bloodborne inspirations to some of the boss fights (character models to boss combat animations), some of the bosses lack their dark souls-ness because of this?
-The need to look up videos to understand the NPCs and the lore, i guess this is inherent to souls games. Wish the game had a glossary or something to read about the characters and its lore.
Up until 6 months ago, I was just a racing game-FPS-TPS-ActionAdventure-OpenWorld games kinda person. But after completing 4 Souls games ever since completing Demon's Souls remake late last year, I feel every other game feels empty in providing the sense of satisfaction you get when doing even the smallest of things in a Souls game.
Now that I've completed the mainline soul's games and my hunger for souls games remain unsatiated, any other game out there that would feel souls like? Also, the reason why I haven't played Bloodborne properly from start to finish is that I am holding off on the 60fps patch of the version. Also, would you all recommend Sekiro? I've heard it's a lot more action-oriented than souls games.
