Bloodborne. No contest. One of my top games of all times. Love most everything about it. It'd be quicker to name the flaws over the positives. The performance could be better. Grinding for blood vials sucks severely. The chalice dungeons are pretty shit, though the unique enemies and bosses are welcome. The amount of builds you can make are way more limited than the other Soulsian games. And finally the blood gem system. It's a cool idea in concept, but unless you spend time grinding for gems in the chalice dungeons (fucking kill me instead), you'll end up with only a couple strong weapons and some will just not reach their full potential period. Not insignificant flaws, but everything around them is fantastic enough that they really aren't so bad while playing. Except the blood vial grinding. That can just stop you dead in your tracks and make you waste so much time.

Otherwise, I love all their other Soulsian games (I like it, but I think Elden Ring is overrated). I haven't really played many of their other games, except dabbling in some Armored Core every generation and Chromehounds. Chromehounds was flawed, but a blast online.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 are sort of tied for 1st place for me. It depends on what I feel like when waking up, but they're both excellent. Bloodborne on an incredibly close 2nd place.

As for their older titles, I've been trying to get into King's Field too, I like the idea alot but I have to go in with a specific mindset since I'm not used to that type of game.

My favourite (non-Souls) FromSoftware game is Echo Night: Beyond for the PS2 because I like weird, slow walking simulators about talking to and solving problems for ghosts... on the moon.

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice

I love Dark Souls 1 with all my heart but I really gotta pick up Armored Core one day tho not sure where 2 start

 

[faceless0man]

darks souls 1 it looks nice and gameplay is enjoyable

 

[laughingoctopus]

Bloodborne by a mile, it's one of the most realised grim dark worlds ever realised in any medium. None of the rest really do it for me. Never been into dragons and what not.

 

[RashFaustinho]

Elden Ring

It's the most recent one, but I did play all their Soulsbornes, and I genuinally believe it's their most impressive game so far

 

[NovumVeritas]

Only this game: https://retrogametalk.com/repository/ps2-iso/silent-line-armored-core-true-analogs-hack/

I'm a sucker for mech/mecha games and this game is like Need for Speed Underground version of mecha genre lolol. I also like how this game offers a FPS view despite how simple it's but a big plus for me!!! But IDK I didn't like other Armored Core games.

Lost Kingdoms 1 And 2

 

[Deleted member 58254]

bloodborne easily

 

[Deleted member 660650]

Now let's talk about hardest game they ever developed: https://retrogametalk.com/repository/ps2-iso/armored-core-last-raven-usa/

lolol

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

Well here's mine

Evergrace
Echo Night 1
Armored Core 1 2 and 3
Armored Core (Master Arena Another Age and Last Raven)
Lost Kingdom 1 and 2
Forever Kingdom (Prequel to Evergrace)

 

[RustySK]

Probably a pretty cliché list, but that's just how good these games are:

1. Sekiro (perfect)
2. Bloodborne (perfect, but I've played it to death)
3. Elden Ring (specifically when paired with Shadow of the Erdtree)
4. Dark Souls 1 (still has the best looping level design of the genre)
5. Dark Souls 3 (if this one wasn't so drab looking I would like it even more)

I also like plenty of their older games a lot as well, like Shadow Tower Abyss, King's Field IV, Echo Night 2 and Armored Core: Last Raven in particular, but I'm not gonna be a contrarian on this - those 5 are just *chef's kiss* through and through.
Best dev studio going this past decade or so. In my mind at least.

Oh and yeah I've gone back through all of these at least a couple times.
