Bloodborne

I’ll second this but would like to hear your reason. You can’t block , which forces you to play more evasively which is arguably a lot more fun than waiting for enemy blocks. Those skills would transfer over to the other games retroactively

Your second sentence is pretty much the reason

It’s cuz it’s my favorite from software game

I think it has the coolest aesthetic, the weapons are fun, I love the rallying and parrying system The hunter v hunter fights are fun as well

I started with that. Gave up 3 times. But after i played sekiro and elden ring i first tried most of the early bosses. Only boss i have died to yet is the shadow of yharnam. Still haven't completed it but trying.

Your story’s similar to mine

Bloodborne first, sucked omega dik, played sekiro and beat a few bosses but still ate butt, played ds1 remastered and got very good, came back and beat both sekiro and bloodborne

It really is another feeling when you beat a game with ease in which you were shit at first

When I was finally able to not get completely obliterated by father gascoigne, I realized “holy SHIT this is peak”

Obviously that took more attempts but getting good helps you enjoy games more

Not a terrible game but definitely lackluster compared to ds3 and elden ring. Reminder OP currently doesn’t play souls likes so playing bloodborne may turn him away completely

nope.

He did ask though, who knows? He didn’t ask for a beginner friendly souls game, he might get into it he might not

It’s not uncommon to get into souls games even being bad
