Elden ring vs Sekiro which is better for beginners?

[Reaper18]

I have played some games in the souls like genre I have played jedi fallen order, code vein I started with with nioh I have not finished it yet so I was thinking of getting either sekiro or elden ring which should be better because the only game closer to souls like I have played is nioh

[SlantedRhetoric]

Sekiro is more parry timing Elden Ring is cheesemania but also closer to DS1/2/3 than Sekiro.

Elden Ring if you're a beginner because of the sheer amount and variety of cheese.

elden ring is easier

[potato]

elden ring is the most accessible souls

sekiro has a much higher difficulty curve and it's not really a souls game, it's a tenchu game

[CazadorDeLobo]

Very likely Elden Ring. Sekiro might be a good "first pick" for a very specific type of person, while Elden Ring has a lot of stuff in it to fall in love with

[Alby]

Elden Ring is easier by FAR

Elden Ring. It's an actual Souls game.

[Vinnolo]

sekiro isnt really a souls game, its his own spin on the formula, very different in many aspects, its also arguably the hardest FS game, so play elden ring instead

[LuckyCheshire]

Like everyone has been saying, Elden Ring is a lot more accessible for beginners.

[Topper mcnabb]

ER is the easiest Souls game. Start here.

[Bill Gates]

Elden Ring is like a huge block of cheese making it easy compared to any souls game Imo.

You can make Elden Ring as easy or hard as you like. And you can take your ball and go home when getting your ass handed to you. You just go do something else.

im pretty sure the bosses in sekiro actually cheat or violate many rules of the game to begin with... don't advise a newb play it at all, hell i barely recommend any self proclaimed souls vets play it either

No overleveling allowed in Sekiro.

Sekiro has a high difficulty curve, but the gameplay is very streamlined and by far the most satisfying of any FS game once you get the hang of it, imo.

Elden Ring generally has a lot more room for error, with way more options for how to approach things and ease the difficulty.

I think Sekiro is a superior and more rewarding game, but you have to know what you're in for.

Also: if you prefer being a tank, Sekiro is made out of rice paper.

As a DS and ER veteran who finished Sekiro not so long ago, I can say, ER is definetely easier than DS and Sekiro in the first two thirds of the game. Besides that, Sekiro has completely different combat mechanics (which I personally didn't like at all), nothing similar to DS/ER, so it is hard to compare. It's like trying to compare Counter-Strike and Quake, or Starcraft and Command&Conquer.
The only comparable things between these two are amazing visual style, characters and stories.
