I’ve never played a soulslike games because they are a bit intimidating to me. Amy recommendations for soulslikes games to start on or for beginners to the genre?

As the point of soulslikes is to overcome challenge, looking for something beginner friendly or easy is, in my opinion, not the right approach.

Play the fromsoft games in chronological order and skip the numbers entries if you are not interested in the stories.

So: Deamon's souls -> dark souls -> bloodborne -> sekiro -> elden ring

Dark souls 2 wasn't that great and has a lot of issues but it tried new stuff which I respect. Still wouldn't recommend it.

Dark souls 3 was darks souls best of which made it a disappointment for me. You kinda know what will happen next and there wasn't that much mystery because of that.

I didn't see it recommended here yet, but my suggestion is Dead Cells. It's a 2D game not made by FromSoft but it has a very similar feel.

I mean dead cells is a great game and so on... But a soulslike?
