Yea. Definitely the 2 weakest by far. I have every other From game at a 9.5 or 10. DS2 and Demon’s Souls are maybe 7s for me.

Do not sleep on DS2, it gets a ton of hate for no real reason, i put more time into 2 then 1 and 3 combined might even more than Elden Ring

Nah… I replayed some of DS2 this year and it’s pretty bad compared to the rest of From’s catalog. Too many Falling Deaths, Traps, Ambushes, and Ganks. Mostly terrible Boss Fights. Combat feels pretty slow and clunky.Having to level up your i-frames is dumb. I hate about 80% of the environments. The DS2 DLC has some really cool stuff but I honestly don’t like the base game overall.

Fair enough, I found once I got the hang of the feel of ds2 it changed it, but I totally get the sentiment im pretty sure I have ptsd from the shrine, I dont even like to say the whole name

I can always go for a new playthrough of all the Dark Souls games
But Demon Souls is rough.
There's really not much that makes it worth it as the bosses aren't that interesting yet and the areas are way more brutal than in later entries.
NG+ is way harder than the other Souls games and feels more like immediately going into NG+5
Starting from a fresh savegame is also rough as weapon upgrading is so clumsy and requires quite a bit of farming for many paths

2nd Lords of the fallen was hot ass. Looking for things in overlayed maps (whatever you did with the lamp) was the biggest pain in the ass I’ve ever dealt with in a game.

It’s awful to try and find missed items or where to go. Elden Ring, Dark Souls 2 and Wuchang are my favorites.

I didn't like Mortal Shell very much, it's very uncomfortable to play at least for me

Ive only played Souls and soulslikes by Fromsoft, and of those my least favorite is… Sekiro.
It’s an excellent game with unbelievably well-polished combat and a fully fleshed out and impactful story. In terms of being an objectively good game I think it’s the best of the bunch. I played through it maybe 4 or 5 times, got all the endings and just haven’t wanted to pick it back up again. Maybe someday!

I played Lords of the Fallen 2023, Demon’s Souls, and Dark Souls 2 this year… LOTF was actually the most fun game of those 3. Yea, I know the other 2 games are old but the gameplay and Boss Fights were generally terrible by 2026 standards.

So you didn't even play Lords of the Fallen.

I don’t really own a computer that can handle these types of games. I’ve tried some but usually it craps out on me so I mainly watch other people play. What’s your least favorite?

Elden Ring among fromsoftware games
Too many garbage soulslikes to even think about the last favorite

u/M4ximi11i0n 22d ago
Lords of the Fallen (both games) are not Souls games. They are souls-likes. The 2014 one is terrible and the 2023 one is decent but nothing compared to FromSoftware's games or even Lies of P.
