Dark Souls

Boss fights as highlights

A merciless action RPG whose interconnected world of Lordran rewards careful exploration with clever shortcuts, deliberate combat and cryptic, melancholic lore. Every death teaches something, and every victory feels truly earned.

Dark Souls: Remastered

Lore and world history

The genre-defining Soulslike: a bleak, intricately interconnected world of punishing combat, hidden paths and bosses that demand patience and precise timing. The remaster adds sharper visuals and includes the Artorias of the Abyss expansion.

Demon's Souls

Boss fights as highlights

The original Soulslike: you fight through the fog-cursed kingdom of Boletaria across brutal, interconnected stages full of traps and demons, where every death costs your souls and every victory feels earned. Asynchronous online touches like messages, bloodstains and invasions give the lonely journey a unique edge.

Salt and Sanctuary

Boss fights as highlights

A 2D Soulslike wrapped in Metroidvania design: stamina-driven combat, punishing bosses and a huge skill tree in a grim, interconnected world. Its hand-drawn look and rewarding exploration set it apart.

Lords of the Fallen

Boss fights as highlights

A grim Soulslike where a magic lantern lets you shift between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. Weighty combat, interconnected level design and the Umbral mechanic make exploration tense and demanding.

Tunic

Lore and world history

A tiny fox explores a mysterious Zelda-like world with demanding, Souls-inspired combat. Its true heart is a scattered in-game manual written in an unknown script, whose pages gradually reveal layered secrets and brain-bending puzzles.

Bloodborne

Boss fights as highlights

A fast, aggressive Soulslike set in a gothic nightmare city, where you win by staying on the offensive instead of hiding behind a shield, and the story slowly turns into cosmic horror. Interlocking levels, brutal bosses and cryptic lore make it a genre landmark.
