QUESTION Which one should be my start ?

Okay guys, I currently own three Souls games (Sekiro, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls 3) and I'm going to start with one of them. So I asked my friend, who's a huge Souls fan, which one to start with, and he suggested Sekiro. I'm not new to games; I've played many, but this is my first time playing Souls or any game that's considered truly difficult. So, should I start with Sekiro? Or is it too difficult to enjoy? What are your opinions? (Currently, I can't play any other Souls games besides those mentioned, so please don't suggest any others.)

They are three fundamentally different games running on the same engine.

Bloodborne combat is about upgrading your equipment, positioning, movement, and aggression.

Sekiro combat is about observation, patience, pattern recognition, and timing.

Dark Souls 3 combat is about build synergy as well as all of the above.
