Dark Souls 1 was the game to really make me fall in love with soulsborne games. It was the first one I got all of the achievements for. I played it right after getting laid off before the pandemic lockdown. Sekiro and DS1 are easily my favorite soulsborne games.

I platinumed Demon's Soul and it is my favorite souls game. I played all of them and prior platinumed Bloodborne. I've finished Demon's Souls at NG+3. As you, i went to it blindly, which meant NG+ would be challenging, but the mechanics of the game is my favorite part. The character and world tendencies, the mechanic of being in human or soul form, I mean it all is amazing. My favorite game of FS.

I played all soulsborne games(except ds2) and i gotta say demon souls is by far the worst souls game so i truly commend you for liking this despicable game.

[@lukehoerz]

For me, Demon's Souls is the best Souls, closely followed by Bloodborne. These 2 were the only Soulsborne Games which encouraged me to 100% them. The other Soulsborne Titles were great too, but were missing some of that special Feeling and Atmosphere from these 2 Sony Exclusives. BTW i like DS2 quite a Bit 👍

Wtf are you saying? World tendency is bull and if it’s black guess what? you need to start a ng+ and ng+ in demons souls is bs and the bosses are super easy in stupid it’s old and the remake is just music and graphics

Hard disagree. I recently 100% DS3 after Sekiro and 1 thing that killed my enjoyment was draw distance, Texture pop-in or whatever you want to call it. Just terrible. Sekiro and Elden Ring no such problems. All their games need remakes on Elden Ring engine since they are very dated. DS1 and 2 have ps2 era graphics. DS3 dated graphics with Terrible draw distance, Bloodborne must be the same since same engine.

[@mattgezockt2596]

In Elden Ring the Feeling of Immersion was way stronger than in the other Games. You can go to every point you can see, the Exploration was much stronger in this Game than in the Others. For me that rocketed it to the Top. It felt like a hard journey where i struggled if i should go further, not vecause it was hard but because it took so long, to feel this in a video Game (played multiple Games with 100 to 200 hours but didnt feeled that).. for me its one of the best video games made until now.

[@AlexCatable]

Spot on. I didn't play DS1, they hail it for exploration too. But for all other FS games not one come even close to Elden Ring in world building and the sheer joy of exploring this vast beautiful world. The amount of absolutely unforgettable moments in this game simply from getting to new areas or revealing some secrets is astonishing.

[@LuM4rex]

In my case everything is different. I've always felt like ER was derivative of Dark Souls. And when I saw new places, I silently thought to myself: This is a familiar place.. I’ve already seen this somewhere.. Like in a dream.. I caught Deja Vu, which interfered with the holistic atmosphere of the game. It's like a dream world, but not as realistic as the cursed and gloomy world of Yharnam, Lordran, Lothric could be, and not as historical as Sekiro.

The guides are a masterpiece themselves and are an added joy to use. Anyhow subscribed. Happy gaming!

Its so interesting that you can have a player like me who found Bloodborne fairly easy overall, but struggled with Sekiro - and a player like you who found it to be the exact opposite. That's, pretty friggin cool haha

Covenient timing because I'm about to platinum Dark Souls 3 finally, after years giving up on it. I spent days farming for the covenant items and to say it was a chore to do such thing is an understatment. I recently collected all the gestures, all the miracles, all the pyromancies and all the sorceries. The only thing left to do is to collect the final ring, which I unfortunately missed because I didn't do the Sirris questline. Good thing is that I all I have to do is going into NG+2 and only have to deal with 3 bosses (Watchdog, Abyss Watchers and Lord Wolnir) to reach my final goal.

Great video. I eventually platinumed Elden ring and you do miss a legendary item out of the 25 you mentioned. It’s the Bolt of Gransax in the capital. Once you go so far in the story you can’t get it when you go back to capital as it’s changed. I had to get it on my second playthrough

[@francisangrignon5914]

In my opinion, DS3 and Elden ring has the most difficult bosses and difficult areas... my From Software journey also started with Elden ring , then DS3 then flew through Bloodborne without struggling with any bosses, max 9-10 attempts for the worst. Took days on Sister Friede, Nameless King, Melania, Elden Beast, all epic boss battle.

[@markface7]

Yeh I think the order of which you play the games drastically changes the experience, my first souls game was sekiro and I definitely got stumped by some of the bosses, I then played bloodborne and didn't take more than 4 attempts on any boss. If I played them in a different order it could have been exactly the opposite

[@EddiXP]

Nameless king and the twins kicked my ass for days.

[@jauneork278]

Not gonna lie. the powerstance feature. The stat scaling armor, Bonfire ascetics etc of DS2 are awesome and unique innovations that have yet to be repeated. It's stat spread is awesome as well. DS2 also has awesome lore. If not for the somewhat clunky movements and graphics it very well could have been my favorite souls game. It has everything in masterclass but a smooth system. But it's heavily underrated.

[@_MrToast_]

Even tho it's not my favorite part of the series, you can't deny that DS2 also had the best fashion options of the serie (imo).

[@Yadoso]

Playing Ds2 for the first time now, I've had a good time and the unique aspects are cool but it does feel less polished and balanced. I've also been really disappointed with the bosses because it feels like most of them are too easy, meanwhile some levels are just packed with enemies that 2 shot you. I'm on the Iron King DLC right now and feel like giving up at this point because some parts are just insane with the gank squads.

[@mattgezockt2596]

​@@tesselesk8i know wht you mean but i think, the bosses who does matter are really the best of the series (difficult to compare to bllodborne and sekiro because different settings) at least the dungeons are different enough for me to mostly recognize them, necause each one hold a different challenge, even if the boss in there is not so unique.

@@tesselesk8 I know this is a late reply, but I heavily disagree with this. ER has the most recycling out of any fromsoft game, I agree with that, but that's only because it is such a huge game. And I don't find most of the recycling bad considering the already huge amount of different bosses and enemies in the game. Also, I would argue that the optional dungeons and caves are similar to each other in visuals, but gameplay wise, while sharing similarities, have at least a decent amount of variety to them.

Crazy how each person's difficulty in a souls game is unique. When you said BB had the most difficult bosses including Rom I thought I misheard you because I havent died to Rom in 4+ playthroughs. Yet unlike you I still struggle on ER bosses despite multiple playthroughs, something about those charged attacks they have makes me roll right into them everytime.

Yeah I also dont get how they find it that difficult. I plated ER, DS3 and BB and bb took me 28 hours first blind playtrough with all bosses, and the most annoyng one was paarl because of the camera

[@ginrodino8542]

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed with the bosses in the game being so easy for the most part lol. My heart sank when someone told me one of the hardest bosses in the game for them was Ebrietas, but I nearly first tried her.

[@redblade37]

This, the guy in the video said they are the most difficult which is a hard cap. Elden ring and DS3 easily have the best boss line up.

[@anon2427]

What’s the correlation with bad bosses and how amazing it is?

[@adamhershy7951]

I honestly agree. It's moreso a weird dynamic where the bosses are either incredible or just very lack luster. Had some of my least favorite bosses in souls aka Rom and Micolash

[@kingdice6262]

I could write a huge nerd text here, as I have in many other videos, reddit posts and streams, about why I consider Dark Souls 2's bad reputation is undeserved based on players' experiences with the earlier Dark Souls 1, and why this game is my favourite game EVER. But I have a feeling you already understand it all, and you are just one of the giga chads who really enjoyed the game. And man, who can not love that cat in Majula ?

[@jcplays1749]

I literally love how different everyone's experiences with fromsoftware's games are, like, my first one was ds3, and was by far the hardest to me, I think I died more to gael and midir than to all bosses from every other games combined, while bloodborne was so easy and I had the same experience that u had with gael, but for me was orphan of kos, everyone saying he was the hardest, and was top tier difficulty till these days, but I first tried him all my 4 playthroughs, tbh, asside from ds3 all the other games were really easy, like I think the second game I died the most was sekiro, and I died like, 20 times to isshin, which is alot, but nothing compared to what ds3 made to me

[@simon-peterwilliamson2412]

Beautiful list. Tho i have to say. I absolutely agree with sekiro and bloodborne. Bb is my favourite game of all time tbh. But i had to say you really should try fighting laurence and father owl. Laurence i completely get specially after fighting him ng+3 and up with a lvl 120 character. But father owl especially inner father is the reason sekiro is still installed for me. Just coming on to clash and fight him is so fucking fun

[@optimistichuman]

it’s both

[@prophecy0731]

@@optimistichuman Your deciding factor seems to be focused on the difficulty to obtain platinums versus which is best.

[@jsteeps5966]

Played everyone of them and I have loved them all. However, elden ring due to it's open world and design was the only game as an adult that made me feel like a kid again. But at the same token, DS3 is the one I cherish the most. I bought it when I lost my job and I needed something to help me through those hard times. It was also my first soulsbourne game as well. Without it, I would have never experienced such amazing games.

I just platinumed Dark Souls 2 for the second time, just had to finish off the NG++ spells. Now I'm thinking of finishing Dark Souls 3 which I guess I have just the NG++ rings left as far as I can tell. Was considering Dark Souls 1 remastered but I have all of the hard things left in that game and basically need to go a full fresh character to NG++ anyway so that's a lot of work. Elden Ring I have the alternative endings left and thats it so I'll wait for the DLC so I have a reason to play again. Dark Souls 2 was actually an enjoyable time, I felt really powerful by the end and had transformed my build into this unlimited buff, powerhouse with unlimited heals and an option for every situation. Iron King Crown ftw, literally unlimited spells if you extend the duration enough. Sunlight Blade can last long enough to recharge before you need to buff again for example and none of the boss fights are difficult in NG++, just the occasional random enemy in the gutter that can two shot you lol. Think I will try and relearn Dark Souls 1, honestly don't like the look of Dark Souls 3 menu's and UI so I'm turned off playing it just for the rings considering it requires a full NG++ playthrough and my only character is a boring quality build at 125 so I feel weak.

[@Aureilius2112]

Elden ring is S-Tier. Sorry but ranking it lower because it makes you seem more knowledgeable about Souls is an L.

unrelated fun fact: redmane knight ogha is the only thing in elden ring that doesnt have a death animation, so he just ragdolls and disappears.

[@ultimatehope549]

I think DS3 is the most polished and best game overall in the series, but I love Elden Ring and DS1 more because their worlds immersed me like nothing else. The sense of wonder and discovery in those games was fantastic and something just felt magical about them. I’m more likely to revisit DS3 but my first playthroughs of ER and DS1 are some of the best times I’ve ever had playing a game. I still need to play Sekiro, but I’ve heard nothing but fantastic things about that game, so I expect it to be at least on the same level as DS3 for me.

[@nikolaynikolov9450]

My first encounter with soul games was...sometime when Demon's Souls came out for PS 3! This is the only one left without Platinum, but I've decided that one day I'll get it!DS 2- I love! it! I have too Platinum on all this GREAT GAMES.For me: Elden ring is top! Hardest Platinum -DS 3(because NG++ Boss fight with...fu..ing Nemless king)!!! Great video btw!!!

[@ryanbothen7253]

Great video!!

[@optimistichuman]

Thank you!!! :)

[@DiscoFinalBoss]

My issue with the DS1 trophies is that the collectible ones like knights honor are tied to a single character. Sure Bloodborne does it too but it was less annoying there.

[@adamc18]

I've platinumed every game in the series other than sekiro (multiple times for the games that had mutiple versions) and out of the three dark souls games, 2 is absolutely my favorite by far. And elden ring is an absolute Masterpiece, its quickly become my favorite game of all time.

[@JtoTheKato]

Late to the comments but this is a great list!

[@St3fm3r_308]

I would love to see you Platinum Hollow Knight next

[@lpcoolee]

Dude, add me to your list of people who love DS2! Completing it was awesome! What a game

[@lpcoolee]

Oh, and before I forget, I've completed DS1 (Prepare to Die E and Remastered), DS2 (SOTFS), DS3 and Elden Ring - I've almost finished Bloodbourne and have just started Demon Souls. And so I don't get what's wrong with DS2 - sure there were some rubbish areas in 2, but the same can be said about 1 and 3...

[@TrynePlague]

Hahahah, exactly my thoughts about DS2. Majula. Best video game main hub ever.

[@nate3129]

DS3 platinum was so unbelievably mind numbing that I put it off for 2 years, I finally have all 7 done and can say without a doubt nothing compares to the grinding you have to do for DS3

[@nate3129]

apart from that having to go through like 3 extra playthroughs to get PWWT from PBWT for the friends ring was also ass

[@Nolimitbrog]

I’m about to embark on this challenge myself. Going for all 7 platinums

[@AnderDoUrden]

I'm shocked how unbelievably close to 100% I'm in agreement with you on everything you said. I would only put Sekiro just slightly above DS3 on the podium, with Bloodborne being the absolute GOAT. PS: yes, I also LOVE DS2 (and this is not a hot take) and I prefer the base game over its DLCs (here's the hot take)

[@WorldBeater123]

The fact that you like DS2 earned you a sub.

[@michaelt1357]

Good. Now do all the souls-likes. But seriously I would recommend the Nioh games and Blasphemous. Haven't played the Blasphemous sequel yet but I'm sure that's good too!

[@emiliococozza8084]

Yeah I agree with everything you said 10/10 tier list 😊

[@savariaxa]

Demon‘s Souls 2009 the original on NG+ was my most favourite one I played all the soulsborne games including Elden Ring now I finished blasphemous and blasphemous 2 amazing 2D metroidvania style !

[@Wsquared43]

I would give anything to experience Elden Ring again for the first time.

[@chadofastora]

Yo, awesome video 👍

[@robbyt-low4937]

How you felt about DS3 I felt about Bloodborne. I was so used to Souls games I blew through Bloodborne. I beat bosses like Lady Maria, Bloodstarved Beast, and Orphon of Kos without dying.

[@tonystarrk4859]

Swap out DS3 with Sekiro and DS2 with DS1 then I somewhat agree with your tier list. Side note: I feel like any Elden Ring placement is premature until the DLC hits. I mean Bloodborne's DLC is integral considering it adds 40% more weapons and the best late-game areas and bosses. From's best work is always the DLC, even Sekiro's best fights are the remixed Owl, Isshin, and Genichiro added in the update with the boss gauntlets.
