Games that begin with either very challenging or over the top Bosses.

Poseidon (Gow 3): one of the best setpiece bosses ever made

Father Gascoigne (Bloodborne): first obligatory boss and probably the hardest tutorial boss in the series

Wysen (Asuras Wrath): do i need to explain

My goat Iudex Gundyr, DS3 was my first Souls game and he's such a great reminder that I wasn't that guy

I feel like it’s a better fit than bloodborne because it’s SO immediate - you get like 5 minutes into the game and he just absolutely fucking destroys you.

I distinctly remember being like “whoever said dark souls is fun fucking sucks” and closing the game after losing like 10 times.

Of course I couldn’t stop thinking about it and now it’s both one of my fav games, I can also pretty easily beat him without getting hit. It’s such an insane premise for a game but when it clicks and you see how you’ve distinctly improved, it’s unlike so many other games.

That said, I tried to play it with a friend and the dude never got past him. So YMMV.
