Rank Every FromSoftware Game

[Dr.God]

Let's rank all Fromsoftware games from best to worst.

Of course, there is no definitively 'correct' ranking as everyone's opinion varies, but it'll be interesting to see how your own ranking compares to everyone else's.

FromSoftware has made 7 Soulslike games as of 2022:

Demon Souls
Dark Souls 1, 2 ,3
Bloodborne
Sekiro
...and most recently Elden Ring

[Dr.God]

Here's my ranking: (best to worst)

Dark Souls 1
Elden Ring
Demon Souls (remake)
Dark Souls 3
Bloodborne
Dark Souls 2
Sekiro

I never played an Armored Core game, but really looking forward to Armored Core 6.

3, 1, ER, BB, DeS, 2, Sekiro

[Dr.God]

I hope Sony releases Demon Souls remake on PC one day...

You'd really rank Dark Souls 2 above Elden Ring?

0.o

I mean it wasn't a bad game but DS2's world design was far below the standard set by the rest of the Souls games, likely because Miyazaki (the creator) was busy working on Bloodborne with Sony at the same time Dark Souls 2 was under development.

DS1 might be the best world/level design ever, so everything after it seems worse to me.

Soul Memory and level design hurt DS2.

Elden Ring loses major points for the open world gimmick that's been done to death by everyone

You have a point about Elden Ring's lack of that classic Souls world/level design, but I still think it's a huge step in the right direction. It's the first truly 'open-world' game FromSoftware has made, so it'll only get better from here.
But to be fair, all Souls games are technically 'open-world', just on a much smaller scale than Elden Ring, so it makes sense that it would lose some of that connected feeling in the world design.

I think what sets Elden Ring back the most is that it has too much empty open space that separates and divides the world map, even with a horse. If they add a gliding mechanic like the one in Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I think the world map would feel far more connected.

[DistantReaper]

That's tough, they're all great, but my most memorable experience will forever be Dark Souls 1. I went from not understanding the appeal, to hating it, to being unhealthy obsessed with it. Plus, nothing will ever surpass reaching Anor Londo for the first time.

DS1:Can't go to capra before killing gargoyles, Can't go to blight town before killing capra (unless master key), Can't go to anor londo before ringing the bells, can't go to the lord areas before placing the lord vessel (except new londo), can't go to the kiln before get the lord souls, can't get to the dlc before getting to the dukes archives.
DS2: ...huh maybe? even though it requires to farm 1million souls
DS3: Most liniar of the trilogy

[𝙷𝚘𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚊]

1. Bloodborne
2. Sekiro
3. DS
4. DS3
5. DS2, ER
6. DeS

Agreed 100%

No other game can hold a candle to Dark Souls 1's masterpiece of world/level design.
